Promised more than it delivered
Pros:

Most of the staff were excellent and very attentive. Breakfast was high quality. At first glance, the hotel seemed opulent. Water pressure in the shower was outstanding.

Cons:

After a little while in the hotel, it felt more cluttered than luxurious. There were no open spaces just to gather as a group informally and it all felt very curated as to where we could socialise. Bathrooms felt very old fashioned and did not feel relaxing or stylish. Very dark rooms. Very expensive and in my opinion was not value for money.

Beautiful, good for a short stay
Pros:

Beautiful setting, lovely hotel and great breakfast.
Close enough to the start of the walk to Arthur’s seat.

Cons:

Early check in was troublesome, despite asking 3 times, it was never confirmed so on arrival there was a long wait (not ideal after a 4am start). I could have made other plans had there been communication.
Not that near to anything else so if staying for a while perhaps stay elsewhere.

Amazing
Pros:

Excellent place, grounds are great and well looked after, decor is wonderful. Staff all lovely, dinner and breakfast were also really good!
Nice touch with the complimentary champagne, truffles and cookies which were delicious!
Unclear whether the mini fridge and snacks in the cupboard are included or charged to the room. Maybes a price list would help?

Would highly recommend!

Horrible- got sick
Pros:

Disappointing
If you suffer from asthma or allergic to toxic smells- dont go. They started using the very strong diffuser reeds with horrible smell , which is just making everyone sick . I would suggest to stay away until they realize the scottish fresh air is best and this is what people are coming for to scotland , not for cheap dubai style diffusers
