Pros:

The staff were so friendly and professional. Couldn't have asked for better. Cosy and warm. Met some lovely people too. Thankyou

Cons:

The only small thing I didn't like was that hotel slayers couldn't sit in the main bar due to locals from a previous pub which closed down took the seats.

Lovely hotel, with very kind and helpful staff. Excellent
Pros:

Lovely people and very cosy hotel. Not the biggest room or most comfortable bed, but still pretty comfortable. Maybe a few hooks to hang towels from and a few more plug socket’s would be helpful.. overall though, we had a great stay, 2 lovely breakfasts and we were well looked after and comfortable. Absolutely recommend!

Cons:

Nothing other than some very minor points.

Continental Kemnay
Pros:

We booked the room with the four poster bed..big room..comfy bed and a bath with shower.
Loved the decor of the room.
Clean and tidy no issues.

Cons:

We happened to be there over the May holiday weekend (sunday/monday) and were looking forward to getting a cooked breakfast but were told they only did continental!
Shocked considering its a hotel and there was nowhere else nearby for breakfast especially because of the holidays. You dont expect to be in a hotel in Scotland and they're only offering continental breakfast. We're not on the continent...🤣😂

Lovely little lodge with a character
Pros:

Lots of character it has its own grounds. staff was very friendly and helpful. as we were travelling for a wedding, we appreciated availability of an ironand ironing board. Plenty of parking available. GF bread milk alternative available.

Cons:

The walls between our room and next door must be quite thin as I could hear snoring from there and from my partner 😉😁 …a little hiccups in the breakfast service

Lovely hotel with competent and pleasant staff, and a restaurant that serves good food.
Pros:

Very nice hotel in spacious surroundings in a quiet residential area. Attractive and comfortable, well appointed room with everything that we could need. The bathroom was also spacious with an efficient shower that didn't require a tutorial beforehand in order to be able to use it. The restaurant was very nice, and the menu was varied with many options to choose from, so much so that our choice was difficult. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient.

Cons:

Only one very trivial , minor comment - and one common to most hotels, in our experience. The absence of a hook on the bathroom door.
