Memorable and thankful to have had this time in this beautiful place with my mum
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and friendly and really helped us out a lot with storage for a wheelchair so we didn’t have to take it up and down stairs. Whenever you went into the reception there was always a hello and asking how we were, which felt like a nice personal touch.

Cons:

The WiFi connection was a little iffy so we couldn’t use the Netflix or watch YouTube on the tv but apart from that everything else was fantastic

Cons:

Hotel/room needs upgraded for the price you are paying. Not usual RAD group standards like Lochside Hotel or Radstone Hotel. Our shower didnt work...either extremely hot or freezing cold.

Good level of comfort,marred by poor initial reception
Cons:

Overall the property provided me with a pleasant stay. I was disappointed however that I didn't receive a more positive response to a request I made on arrival for secure storage to be made available for my relatively high value bicycle which I regarded as a key part of my cycling holiday. I had to work hard to negotiate access to an area behind an unlocked gate at the hotel having been told by front of house that my bike would be perfectly secure locked to a sign outside the front reception area. In all other areas,staff were helpful and attentive. However, I won't be recommending the hotel to other touring colleagues owing to the reception outlined above.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Plenty of choice including gluten free which suited my wife. We considered other of options in the town for evening meals but got just as good if not better value in the hotel and because my wife is disabled, it was more convenient.

Cons:

The shower was sometimes temperamental in that it would run cool for a couple of seconds, and a grab handle inside the cubicle would have been helpful for my wife.

Lovely hotel but unimpressed.
Pros:

The size of the room was good also the ensuite was beautiful. The grounds looked well kept , it was roughly a 10 minute walk into the town centre which was a bonus.

Cons:

The room was cold in the evening and even turning up the radiators didn't bring the heating on. Although the ensuite was beautiful the shower didn't work well, the water would go cold the all of a sudden it would be boiling to the point you had to step back. When we told the receptionist on our day of leaving, she said she that she knew about this and thought they were waiting on parts. Well !! why rent a room out if they knew this. The duvet needs replacing the filling was all lumpy.
