Pros:

Good location
Restaurant v good
Breakfast good. Breakfast dining rooms v nice. Nice bar. Good veiws

Cons:

Hotel building itself needs tome TLC in places. E.g holes in a hallway carpet, bedroom carpet rucked up, dirty bedroom windows and an overflowing gutter drainpipe.
But to be honest this is typical of Muthu hotels

Déçue
Pros:

Très bel hôtel d’extérieur , très bien placé

Cons:

L’hôtel est très très vintage . J’avais lu sur les commentaires que ce style lui donnait du charme mais vintage ne veut pas dire sale. La moquette de notre chambre était toute tachée et la salle de bain pas très propre

Beautiful outside, dated inside
Pros:

Beautiful property that has clearly seen better days. We loved the old exterior and interesting details of the building, the highland cows in front, and the gardens. The staff was also super sweet, especially the restaurant and breakfast servers!

Cons:

This hotel needs some money put into it for new carpet, lamps, and decor. The lamp in our room had a broken shade, the chairs were worn out, and the carpet pulling away from the walls. In the restaurant there's water damage in the windowsills and all the wall decor looks cheap and mass produced.

Ok.
Pros:

The breakfast, dinner in the restaurant.

Cons:

The rooms were very old everything of the neighbours was clear to hear and the room door was closing without a big bang. Like other room doors.

Not worth price
Pros:

Great location, picturesque scenery, couldn’t fault breakfast though paint peeling off walls in dining room

Cons:

Stayed in the courtyard both radiators on in the room when arrived as well as in the entrance, couldn’t turn the towel radiator in bathroom off very uncomfortable. For the price it’s not justified

Mehr Schein als Sein
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen und von außen sehr schön anzusehen.
Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig.

Cons:

Die Zimmer wurden nicht vernünftig gereinigt. Wir waren eine Woche dort. In dieser Zeit wurde das Zimmer nicht einmal gesaugt oder geputzt. Überall war es staubig.Der Fokus des Hotels lag auf den Busreisen. Dadurch war es auch nicht möglich zu einer angemessenen Zeit abends im Hotel zu essen. Man konnte nur sehr früh oder sehr spät abends einen Tisch reservieren, sodass wir es bevorzugt haben in andere Restaurants zu gehen.
Für den Preis haben wir deutlich mehr erwartet!
