Highly recommended place to spend your time in Scotland!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, very well located and with clean facilities and quiet areas. We were glad to notice the doors didn't sound to strongly when moving between the halls, which allowed us to get a pleasant sleep. Good value for the price.

The hotel needs renovation. There is no plug near to the bed and although the hotel provided an extension cable it was quite uncofortable to have cables all over the room.

Friendly staff, clean hotel with good leisure facilities
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff, nice bar area, swimming pool, steam & sauna rooms are well maintained and hotel was clean.

Cons:

Leisure changing rooms need a refresh (feels outdated compared to the rest of leisure facilities) and weight lifting equipment in the gym needs replaced (heavily rusted and well used) still functional but not great.

The mattress in our room could do with a swap out, no support and very old.

Pros:

The setting,the staff,generous sized rooms.

Cons:

Maybe the wall display units just off reception could be tidied up,all of the pics info etc had fallen off. Only small I know but still important.
The bed surround was very dirty,you can get covers for these that fit around the base it let the room down as everything else wonderful.small things like this can let the image down.
The gardens can be cleaned up,there was foliage to the left of the drive on the way out needing tidied.

Pros:

Lovely setting. Easy to find.

Cons:

As we don't eat much at breakfast,would have been good to have cheaper continental. £12.50 far too much to take just tea and toast or cereal for example.
