Pros:

Bed was very comfortable, room was clean and shower pressure was good. Tasty breakfast and dinner, cozy old building and in walking distance from the beach and shops in Nairn. Hotel personell was friendly and helpful

Cons:

Interior of the room and furniture is a bit old and used, it was quite loud when the windows were open in this specific room because it was located next to a roof with a loud ventilating system.

Erholsam und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter
Pros:

Besonders die Mitarbeiter und auch das Abendessen war sehr gut. Frühstück okay. Man konnte gut parken und die Highlandkühe sind super süß, wobei da mal ein Hufschmied vorbeischauen sollte. Danke für die Bewirtung und die Ausnahme wegen des Roomservice. Dankeschön!!! Betten sind bequem!

Pros:

Das Hauptgebäude im Park hat Castle-Vibes. Wir haben ein Upgrade bekommen in eine 2-Bedroom-Suite, die viel zu gross für uns war. Aber eine sehr schöne Suite! Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Lage extrem ruhig, 5min zum Meer. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, das Abendessen im Restaurant ebenfalls. Die Dame bei unserem Checkin war super nett und auch das Personal beim Frühstück, an der Bar und Abends im Restaurant war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Auf der Weide vor dem Hotel grasen drei Highlandrinder.
Es hat Spass gemacht, sich dort aufzuhalten.

Cons:

Das Waschbecken im Bad war etwas unterdimensioniert

Amazing location, comfortable hotel, friendly staff.
Pros:

I was over the moon to receive an upgrade, unprompted. Room was spacious, lovely bathroom. Grounds stunning, very attractive & light bar & Carlie Chaplin restaurant. Loved the 3 Highland cattle in the hotel field. Loads of trees, large expanse of grounds out front, lovely driveway. Breakfasts good; staff through friendly & helpful & seemed happy; meaning Charlie Chaplin restaurant very good quality, altho’ some options had run out, e.g, pomegranate salad which I would have chosen - & no cream left but waiter/waitress (fantastic young people) were resourceful to find us alternative. Amazing stay.

Cons:

Just one minor thing: ugly large coach parked outside front door entrances when coach parties staying - not a pretty view.

Una notte in un castello, nel cuore della Scozia
Pros:

Il castello è magnifico, nei giardini ci sono anche le famose hairy cows! Purtroppo ci aspettavamo di dormire nel castello, ma non c’eravamo accorti di aver prenotato la stanza nella corte (quindi fate attenzione a leggere bene!) nonostante ciò, la stanza era molto bella e siamo stati in albergo a cena che era buonissima. Dopo cena, ci siamo fermati al bar e il barman ci ha aiutato nella scelta del whisky ed è stato molto gentile

Cons:

Il ristorante era sprovvisto di alcuni dei piatti e di alcuni dolci forzando la scelta quindi su pochi piatti

Tolle Lage
Pros:

Die Lage in einem riesigen Park und das Gebäude sind wunderschön. Unser Executive Doppelzimmer war großzügig und gut ausgestattet, Bad groß, Badewanne und extra Dusche-sehr sauber.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Frühstück gut.

Cons:

Das Hotel bräuchte dringend eine intensive Reinigung oder Renovierung, v.a. der Teppichböden.
Im Zimmer und auf den Fluren riecht es staubig, die Möbel im Zimmer haben angeschlagene Stellen und die Bettbespannung hatte Flecken. Mit einer Teppichreinigung, etwas Farbe und ein wenig Stoff könnte man schon viel erreichen.

Hotel agréable pour un court séjour
Pros:

Hotel agréable dans un très beau parc. Les chambres sont vastes et le lit double grand et confortable. En revanche la salle de bains était vieillissante, et la baignoire gagnerait à être remplacée par une douche. Peu de place pour installer les affaires de toilette ou accrocher des serviettes. Le petit déjeuner est correct, sans être fantastique. Pas de capuccino, mais un café au lait quelconque. Le personnel est agréable.
En résumé un bon potentiel qui pourrait être amélioré.

L'attente au restaurant était beaucoup trop long 45 minutes après notre arrivée pour avoir notre plat unique alors que seul quatre tables étaient occupées
