Overall, we had a great stay and would consider staying again if traveling to the area.
Pros:

The staff were a delight. It was great to have access to everything right in the hotel: food, drinks, lounge area, etc.

Cons:

The bed was not very comfortable and the room could have used a little refreshing of paint in areas, curtains repaired at top and the floors were very "creaky". The grounds were a bit unkept.

It is a castle. It is by a mountain.
Pros:

I am a sucker for a hotel that looks like a castle and for one where I can go for a walk before dinner; this hotel delivers on both fronts. (It is clearly a Victorian fake castle; it was built in the 1890s and was a ruin in the 1960s; the interior is pretty modern.) Breakfast was at usual hotel standard; dinner was very good. Steaks are expensive at full price, but are 50% off if you are over 60. Staff were all nice and polite. Room was large and comfortable; TV and WiFi both worked fine. Bar area has some comfy armchairs to lounge in. No problem with parking. Hallways are dark with lights on sensors; you can shout "Lumos" as you walk along and imagine you are Harry Potter.

Cons:

Room had a couple of maintenance issues. I meant to report these on checkout but they didn't have anyone on duty; checkout was by dropping your keys in a box. (I do understand that staff costs are a real problem for hotels these days.)

Amazing staff and you get to stay in a castle!
Pros:

It was a castle (which was super cool)! Also, the staff were AMAZING! Bartender/waiter/desk clerk John was a standout not only of this stay, but of our whole trip to Scotland. Room was spacious and matched the photos. There were snacks and nice toiletries included as well.

Cons:

Mattress was a bit lumpy. I think a mattress pad would have gone a long way.

Pros:

Es ist ein imposantes Gebäude, schön gelegen. Das Zimmer war auch schön und sauber. Natürlich kein Aufzug, aber der Manager selbst hat uns die Koffer in die zweite Etage getragen. Sehr gutes Abendessen!

Cons:

Das Frühstück war leider gar nicht eines Castles würdig.
