Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Generally reported as clean (e.g., 'Alles was schoon'); rooms and public areas well kept for most guests, though one guest reported housekeeping missed cleaning for two days.
Service
8
Staff frequently described as friendly and attentive with good hospitality, but there are notable service failures: reception disputes/overcharging, refusal to reasonably accommodate an extra night in an emergency, and some operational lapses (breakfast timing, housekeeping).
Location
9
Many guests praise the peaceful, attractive grounds, proximity to transport/airport and easy access to Edinburgh by bus; a minority found it less convenient for central Edinburgh.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms are described as spacious with comfortable (often praised) beds and good facilities; some guests note worn beds, older areas, and minor maintenance issues (e.g., bathroom caulking) or modern wing needing refresh.
Amenities
9.5
Strong amenities: pool, spa, full golf circuit, fitness facilities and on-site restaurant/bar are frequently highlighted as excellent features of the property.
Value for Money
7
Mixed value: some guests call it good value, but several significant complaints about overcharging (extra room/bed charges) and an unusually high rate for an emergency extra night lowered perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Food at the on-site restaurant and bar receives positive mentions, but breakfast service and quality drew complaints (not available early enough for some, and at least one comment noted poor breakfast).
Overall Experience
8.3
Mostly positive stays with beautiful grounds and pleasant staff for many guests, tempered by several impactful negative experiences (booking/payment disputes, refusal to accommodate in an emergency, housekeeping/ breakfast issues) that affected return intent for some.

Pros:

El sitio parecía un castillo. El acceso a la piscina y sauna. La limpieza y comodidad de la cama. La habitación era muy espaciosa. El personal fue muy amable.

Cons:

El baño sin duda se veía muy deteriorado ahora entiendo porque cuando reservas una habitación no hay ninguna foto. Parece que no le pega al conjunto ya que todas las demás instalaciones estaban muy bien.

Pros:

bella struttura pulita e curata con uno splendido parco distante dal centro circa 30 minuti in auto

Cons:

di fatto non abbiamo dormito nel castello come sembrava dalle foto al momento della prenotazione ma in una struttura attigua raggiungibile tramite un lungo percorso interno

Was great. Would stay here again if I could afford it. It was expensive
Pros:

It was beautiful and the staff were just all so wonderful, great breakfast buffet as well.

Cons:

Nothing not to like. However the room smelled a bit mildewy, I know older places can have that. It bothers the person I was staying with more than it did me.

Pros:

The breakfast was amazing! We were able to book into The Brasserie at late notice and had a lovely meal.

Cons:

The pool could be a little bit warmer but it wasn’t an issue. However there were no keys for any lockers in the men’s changing rooms.

Spectacular Property and Service
Pros:

The service was impeccable and staff was amazing. Jeffin was the most oustanding associate and his spirit to serve the guest made you feel like a valued person and not a number! He demonstrates the essence of fantastic hospitality in the restaurant.
