Lovely hotel with great room
Pros:

It was a lovely hotel we had a garden room with private sitting area outside. We got a very good deal for the room so was well worth the money and would stay again.

Cons:

The only thing that could be slightly better was the breakfast it was nice but slightly falling below expectations.

Comfortable, clean , friendly, good food.
Pros:

Nice comfy lounge. Breakfast room very comfortable.

Stairs down to Garden Room , you’re also open to the weather from there to main hotel, however they do provide umbrellas outside your bedroom door.

Pros:

Loved the location and the full property itself. We had one of the balcony rooms and the views over the town were spectacular! Room was homely, clean and very comfortable. Food was delicious. Short walk to the town centre. Will definitely come back.

A lovely return to a favourite place
Pros:

We've stayed before and enjoy out time at Knockendarroch. The welcome is warm, the food always good and the hotel itself is warm and comfortable.

Cons:

Perhaps I didn't notice but nowhere did I see that we were to be located in the annexe. While our rooms were perfectly nice, the stairs down posed an issue for my 79 year old husband who has mobility issues. I think this could perhaps be flagged more clearly as I certainly wasn't expecting it.

First class accommodation.
Pros:

It is a beautiful place.The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the room was exquisitely comfortable. Tha breakfast was plentiful and extremely tasty.My fiancée and I usually prefer spa facilities, but you offset that with the sublime quietness which this place offers.As it caters more for the older couple.We will definitely return.Ian and Ann, Dalgety Bay.

Cons:

Could have had spa facillies and a fridge in the room plus a telly with Iplayer
