Pros:

Dinner was excellent and the waiting staff friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Ottimo per una notte e posizione per visitare dunnottar castle
Pros:

Posizione e camera ampia per famiglia di 4

Cons:

Dopo il check-in abbiamo prenotato la cena dentro l’hotel alle 7:00, con un bambino di 3 anni e uno di 8 mesi siamo arrivati alle 7:13, la ragazza ci ha comunicato che aveva dato via il tavolo nonostante il ristorante fosse mezzo vuoto.
Dopo 10 min di attesa “ci ha trovato una soluzione”

Pros:

Camera grande e spaziosa. Il letto king size è stata una bella sorpresa. Ambienti puliti. Possibilità di utilizzare la piscina gratuitamente, previa prenotazione (per gli spazi un po' ridotti).

Cons:

Parcheggio a pagamento anche per i clienti (specificato nella prenotazione), comunque comodo e di facile accesso.

Good hotel. Great bar and restaurant. Room was not up to usual standard. No actual remittance for problem.
Pros:

4th time here and really like the place. Good location.

Cons:

There was water running down from the roof. Room was damp and smelled. When brought up we were quickly moved rooms. But the damp was obviously a long term problem. Was told it was someone up stairs had over run a bath. Pictures tell otherwise

Food was lovely in the restaurant.
Cons:

The bed in our room 330 seemed small compared to other times we've stayed. Also the lockers for the swimming pool were an absolute pain and seemed complicated to lock. The young attendant had to come in and sort them for myself and otgers who were also in the changibg room.
