Pros:

Die Lage war zu weit weg von der Stadt. Die Idee und Lage in der Natur und der Blick war prima, aber viel zu teuer.

Cons:

Der Preis

Mi estancia no fue buena por los comentarios anteriores. No llegas en auto hasta la cabaña ni te lle
Pros:

En realidad no me gusto nada porque esta como un 4 estrellas y para el precio que tiene no tiene ni una.
La cabaña es chica para el precio.
No tenia toallas.
La cafetera no andaba.
La limpieza pésima. NO CAMBIAROB LAS SABANAS> ESTABA MANCHADA DE SANGRE!!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

Te lo venden como un super lugar por la Recepción que tiene pero las cabañas son malísimas para pagar 450 dólares la noche.

Stylish but impractical stay
Pros:

The overall design is very striking and contemporary, with high-quality finishes and a clear architectural concept. The amenities, especially the shower products, were excellent and smelled wonderful. Breakfast was very good, with a nice selection of hot plates alongside other options. The setting is pleasant and the location is convenient for exploring the area, with some cabins offering nice views if positioned higher up the hill.

Cons:

The design often comes at the expense of practicality. The cabins are small and poorly organized in terms of usability, with no proper space for luggage despite oversized furniture. The bathroom is particularly impractical, with no surfaces to place toiletries, water splashing from the sink, no hooks for towels, and no shelving in the shower (products placed on the floor). Overall, there is very limited space to put personal items anywhere in the room. The higher cabins have better views but are inconvenient to access, and the hotel as a whole feels more like a design concept than a comfortable place to stay, lacking warmth and a sense of ease.

Incredible stay
Pros:

The cabin was flawless, modern and wonderfully cosy in the evenings. We loved the location, close enough to town but tucked away enough to enjoy the countryside views. In the main hotel, the bar and restaurant are very well done. We had drinks and dinner one night and thought the entire experience was brilliant. Breakfast too was well organised with table service and plenty of menu options.

Cons:

Nothing. Though the only thing I could think could potentially improve the hotel would be to look at adding in some hot tubs or even individual saunas for cabins.

Absolutely Charming
Pros:

Absolutely lovely hotel. The main lodge was stunningly appointed, warm and charming. The "pod" rooms were unique and added a special charm to the stay. Staff was lovely, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more.

Restaurant for both breakfast and dinner were some of the best we've experienced in 3 weeks of Scottish travel.

Cons:

The pod rooms are a bit small. It's a unique experience, so fun for a change, but with a bathroom you scarcely have room to dry off in after your shower, go in knowing that this is an "intimate" hotel experience.

Nothing everything was perfect

Séjour incroyable
Pros:

Séjour insolite avec tout le confort nécessaire ! Le petit-déjeuner est très bon et bien servi. Le personnel est au petit soin et le restaurant vaut vraiment le détour, belle vue en prime! Les cabanes individuelles sont très confortables et permettent de profiter du calme et d'un beau panorama.

Cons:

Un petit meuble d'appoint supplémentaire pour poser ses affaires serait plus pratique.

Bel hôtel mais survendu.
Pros:

Les cabanes offrent une jolie vue et beaucoup de calme. Le restaurant est bon et le petit déjeuner aussi.

Cons:

Déception à l’arrivée notre cabane qui semble en bois est en fait toute en plastique à l’intérieur. Et nous n’étions pas immergés dans la nature à ce point. Au final le prix de la chambre est trop élevé.

The place is clearly run down… might have been good at some point but no one cares enough about it anymore.
Pros:

The concept is nice, the main building has some potential and the location is easy. Breakfast staff was friendly.

Cons:

The front desk was not welcoming at all, not one smile. The facilities are run down, the spa wasn’t working properly and was not clean. The restrooms in the main building were dirty, toilet paper on the floor etc.
The bathrooms in the rooms are very small, don’t even have a shelf to put our cosmetics on… breakfast was good but very basic and limited for a 4*
