Would like to stay again.
Pros:

Lovely helpful staff. On arrival receptionist realised one of our party had mobility issues and offered a ground floor room to avoid a climb upstairs.
I think it was the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. Delicious!
Beautiful building.

Cons:

PIty no restaurant onsite for dinner at the moment.
Nice lawn but flower beds and driveway full of weeds. Not too good first impression coming up driveway.
Little bit TLC required on old carpets as a few tripping hazards especially for disabled people.

A little Gem just off the trunk road
Pros:

Although we stayed in the lodge instead of the main building it was comfortable and well maintained .
The breakfast service was exceptional and well done to the chefs and the serving staff.

Cons:

The plug sockets in our room need looking at, we had to wiggle the kettle plug and phone charger to make them
Work.

Disappointing and not worth the money. Premier Inn is better.
Pros:

Location, grounds and looks of the main hotel. The bed.

Cons:

My room in the Lodge, whilst I knew was a separate building, backed on to a rough housing estate and felt like a forgotten cousin of the real building. The room had marks all over the walls, fittings for three smoke detectors but no actual detector, bare lightbulbs and an auto bathroom light that went out while in the shower and could not be got back on while there. The room was not comfortable like the pictures and lacked some of the facilities. Staff were good though forgot my coffee with breakfast but corrected quickly with apology. It is not worth the money to stay in the Lodge.

Lovely hotel but in need of significant updates.
Pros:

Lovely presentation of room - very spacious and door opened onto grassy area. Grounds quiet and pleasant. Short walk to parkland and Ladyhill viewpoint. Porridge nice. Towel radiator nice and hot at all times.

Cons:

Some bathroom floor tiles cracked and displaced. This presented a hazard for stubbing toes and tripping . I informed staff via a note (limited staff around generally). Someone was going to come and fix it next day but didn't (in fact it would have been too big and noisy a job to do while the room was occupied). The place felt very empty and lacking in warmth. The woodwork on the outside of my room was in poor repair. For me, the coffee at breakfast was undrinkable.

Fabulous place for a quiet stay.
Pros:

Lovely building in a quiet area. Lots of nice areas to sit and relax. Nice outdoor sitting area. Very comfortable. Fabulous staff! Breakfast amazing!

Cons:

It was all lovely but slightly shabby in a chic sort of way, perhaps some upgrading would enhance the place. Garden ground is a lovely space but unkempt. There was a sign pointing to a pool but apparently not available?

Disappointed
Cons:

I booked an En Suite Lodge room, but at check in the gave me a different room and did not inform me at all.
I really found out I did not get what I paid for till after and was told they do not guarantee the room you book!
Very disappointing!!

Comfortable room
Pros:

The bed was comfy and the room faced out to the grounds which was good. The towels in the bathroom were nice and big. The breakfast was amazing.

Cons:

We had a couple of spiders in the room. We didn't find the bar area. We didn't get told about it.

A Scottish pile, shabby chic hotel, worth a stay!
Pros:

I loved the character of the building, it must have been stunning in its day.

Cons:

The property needs some investment. Whilst my room was clean, there were signs of mould. The stairway carpet had shredded on a step, and the corridor to my room felt a bit grim. Breakfast was adequate, but the furniture in the dining room let it down, tired and my chair wobbled. I was down for breakfast when it opened and they had run out of smoked salmon. Overall stay was good, bed comfy and friendly staff!
