Would recommend this hotel
Pros:

The hotel is a great building and well furnished. Lovely spacious bedroom and bathroom. Warm & cosy despite being a big space.
Staff were all great and very professional.
Situated in lovely wooded grounds. Great breakfast.!!

Cons:

Some parts are a little tired and can do with a wee refurb (grout on bathroom floor etc, frayed curtain edge) but excellent value for money overall and would definitely stay again. Good experience 👍

Comfortable, warm, good evening meal. Rooms and hallway carpets in need of a refresh.
Pros:

Very comfortable bed. Quiet location. Lovely setting. Radiators worked extremely well - room was good and warm. Dinner staff very pleasant and dinner food was to a very good standard.

Cons:

Rooms and public area carpets are in need of a refresh. Part used hand soap bottles in the ensuite. No complimentary water in rooms. Car Parking area needs tarred or concreted - holes gathering water - not good when moving a suitcase. Limited selection of continental breakfast options. Used cups not removed from room during morning clean for a 2-night stay.

Wundervoll! Der beste Aufenthalt unserer Reise 🤩

Als wir ankamen, haben wir ein kostenloses Upgrade für ein Executive Doppelzimmer erhalten. Das Zimmer war fantastisch! Super viel Platz und ein riesiges gemütliches Bett.

Needs a little money spent on it. Lovely room but the curtains had holes and the pillows were rubbish! Beautiful locatio
Pros:

The location and very quiet. The evening meal was amazing.

Cons:

The breakfast was poor. In 2026 I would expect a coffee machine or at least be able to upgrade to a coffee latte. Ingredients should be locally sourced ie yogurt.

Pros:

Great, well trained staff, warm rooms, nice decor, beautiful old building, where it was situated.

Cons:

Breakfast was fine but some seeds, nuts to go in the yoghurt would have been a nice touch and porridge - good porridge made with salt - would be a great addition. .

Good room with comfortable bed, but areas of hotel need maintenance and food disappointing and very limited.
Pros:

Clean large room with comfortable bed. Grounds lovely, especially the highland cows.

Cons:

Parts of the hotel need maintenance eg ceiling in restaurant. The breakfast was basic but good. However, the menu for dinner in the evening was extremely limited, overpriced and disappointing. It was also not consistent and some items were cold and had to be sent back. As a result we only fined on two of our seven nights.

Generally very good considering very negative comments from locals
Pros:

Location and general hotel layout
The art deco bar area very appealing and would like to visit again and use as a relaxing area

Cons:

Damaged table in room
Some stains on chair fabrics
Running a maintenance period weekly through all rooms and to identify and rectify challenges would improve the facilities
The mixing assembly on the bath, the shower connection is unused but is the default start up position when opening the valves, this could put people off using it and provide negative engagement. Appreciate it is there, but there is a separate independent shower mixer separate on the wall

Appreciate these observations are specific but working in industries I know what I am looking at, most people will only look at the comment and see something that kind of works so it will do
