Beautiful house for a very comfortable stay
Pros:

Beautiful house which housed 6 adults and a baby with ease. Everything we needed for a family get-together to celebrate an 80th birthday.
Lovely touch to receive the welcome pack to start us off.
The staff were at the nearby hotel to assist if needed. Both check in and out were seamless.
We couldn't have asked for a better accommodation and would love to come back again.
Thank you Saplinbrae.

Cons:

Maybe a few more mugs please.

All in all a wonderful stay, and I must once again mention the excellent attitude of all the staff
Pros:

Staff were excellent, nothing was to much trouble. Food, both breakfast and evening meal was excellent. The hotel setting was very peaceful.

Cons:

For us the bed was a little to firm and we found the shower tray very slippy. A hand rail in the shower would be helpful for older people.

Beautiful hotel with epic food.
Pros:

Very, very clean! So clean, my wife walked into the shower screen. Comfortable beds with soft sheets. Epic breakfast (try the porridge with brown sugar and cream, to start). Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Bar prices are very good.

Cons:

Our room had a fire door that closed very slowly, so when I went to the bar, people walking past had a full view of my wife in bed.

Very comfortable and hospitable stay, a lovely Scottish experience
Pros:

The open fire in the lounge, the general look and feel and the friendly staff.

Cons:

A mini-fridge in the room would have been nice. Also, a top up of tea/coffee after the first night.
