Short stop over stay to break a long journey from Scotland
Pros:

Clean rooms, large shower and toilet, good water pressure and temperature, and nice breakfast in the morning. Looks like a nice place for a wedding.

Cons:

Room was a bit noisy - could hear into the corridors and movement of other guests. Bed was a bit small but comfortable.

Great dinner, a clean and nicely decorated room, and lovely gardens......
Pros:

dinner (additional cost) was great! room was decorated lovely, very clean and tidy. bathroom was clean and fresh. Gardens were lovely to view.

Cons:

breakfast was good but warm up, bathroom was difficult to access past shower screen and sink basin was behind the door. seating for food was uncomfortable. four flights of stairs to room and no lift, even though I requested an accessible bathroom!

We stayed in a chalet and it was beautiful, the grounds are lovely & it's scenic. The staff are super friendly & helpful & the restaurant was amazing.

Cons:

The signal for the television isn't great, but it's the only thing I could complain about slightly!
