A true 5 star experience with great ambiance
Pros:

This is truly a 5 star experience for ambiance, and in January it was a very reasonable price for 5 star. We had the base level room but it was large and very comfortable. Staff were very attentive but not over-bearing.

Cons:

I had anticipated Loch Eske Castle would be on the shores of the loch and hence offer a loch view. It is an 800m walk to the loch, so no view from the castle grounds except a drab pine forest. That said, the walk to the loch is pleasant.

beautiful hotel and staff lovely food thermal suite was really relaxing - just really relaxing
Pros:

Welcome Gent Geroid was absolutely lovely to start the stay- just really warm and friendly -
Breakfast was really good - eat of menu or buffet style
Dinner in the bar both evenings lovely and well priced
restaurant a little pricy but looked good

Cons:

Nothing much really
We couldn't open our windows so no fresh air circulating the room - I am sure it would have been sorted if we had have asked
12 euros for small glass of wine- although the setting is beautiful
