Отвратительно
Pros:

Ничего

Cons:

Это вообще нельзя назвать отелем.
В информации написано, что есть бесплатная парковка. Прошел совсем небольшой снег, но они даже не подумали расчистить парковку (хотя дороги вокруг все были чистые уже). В результате на занесенной снегом парковке мы потратили больше получаса времени только чтобы запарковаться.
В информации об "отеле" было указано, что они предоставляют завтрак с 8 утра.
Мы бронировали и оплатили на семью два номера с завтраками. Рассчитывая на завтрак для детей в 8 утра мы на 9 часов уже забронировали лыжную школу для детей.
При заселении сотрудники отеля оказали нам в предоставлении завтрака с 8 утра, рассказывая о том, что столовая у них маленькая, всех накормить сразу не могут, и оказывается, если вы хотите позавтракать в 8 утра, то это надо где-то бронировать заранее. Но этой информации нигде не указано при самом бронировании!
На наши настоятельные просьбы накормить детей завтраком в 8 утра был получен отказ. Мы попросили вернуть тогда деньги за оплаченные завтраки, они тоже отказались и сказали - решайте это с букингом. Мы минут 40 пытались решить эту проблему в отеле (напомню, что до этого еще минут 40 парковались на нерасчищенной парковке), но безуспешно. В итоге отель вообще нам отказал в заселении, отменил самовольно наше оплаченное бронирование, а теперь отказывается возвращать за него деньги.
Еще раз: отель не предоставляет заявленные и оплаченные услуги, затем отменяет бронирование и присваивает при этом оплату!
Это не отель, а просто мошенники!

Wonderful historic hotel let down by poor service in the restaurant
Pros:

Location great. Gareth the manager was welcomimg and helpful. The hotel is perfectly situated for skiers and walkers, or a visit to Blairgowrie. We took a little stroll along a small section of the Cateran Trail which passes the side of he hotel. There are several good places to eat in Blairgowrie but you need to book ahead.
The wifi was good, and the bedrooms had everything we needed.

Cons:

We had 3 bedrooms booked for a 2-night stay. Restaurant service was ok on the first night: we booked a table for 7pm and perused the menu while having a drink in the bar, then were shown to our table around 7:30. Unfortunately the second night was just dreadful. We booked for 7pm and were asked to go straight to our table. We then sat there for TWO HOURS before any food appeared. Not even bread or olives or something to get started on while waiting. When the food did arrive, it was very good. I had the distinct impression that Gareth the manager was just as frustrated as we were, and it was clear that there was insufficient staff in the kitchen. Gareth did agree to waive the cost of our meal however, which was the right thing to do. I'm glad to say that the breakfast was very good. It is a bit odd that food in the restaurant has to be paid separately from the hotel bill, but you can start a tab at the bar and pay all your drinks and food at once each night. I would say that the bedrooms were 'domestically clean' but not much attention to detail such as skirtings and ledges which were very dusty. Note that the hotel door is locked during the day so you are given a code to open it. Don't go out without memorising it or writing it down!

Cosy countryside hotel with excellent food
Pros:

The staff were excellent and incredibly accommodating - for example, we had to head out early on one of the days we stayed at the hotel and the staff made us a breakfast to go. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the location quiet and cosy - great value for money!

Cons:

Nothing - a great place to stay!

Very good place to use as a base for your walking,or skiing trips. Staff are always friendly and food is amazing.
Pros:

Great little hotel, location is perfect. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing, hats off to the chef.

Cons:

Although the room was clean, there was a few things that were overlooked, skirting boards and toilet base were a bit dirty, maybe just being picky.
