Alles prima bij erg rustige ligging.

Rustige, groene ligging. Easy en ruime parking. Prima kamers in een typisch Schots gebouw. Deftig ontbijt en vriendelijke lui.

Cons:

Wat details maar het vermelden niet waard.

Passable property, don’t look too hard for issues - if you’re a history buff this is the stay for you.
Pros:

The rooms are very big and high ceiling, it was very quiet, with a nice view of well kept gardens from the window.

Cons:

It’s in need of some tender loving care and some money spending in it.
The bed was quite lumpy and springs kept digging into our backs.
The water pressure in the shower was not good enough, the tap in the sink had more pressure.
The property is clean but needs more than just cleanliness, it needs rejuvenating a bit more and some consideration I think.

Pros:

A beautiful building with very friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

Inside the hotel is in need of a face lift. It looks very tired which does somewhat ruin the hotel.

Pros:

Lovely hotel. Stayed for 1 night. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. They really looked after us with our dog. Superb evening meal, good options if vegetarian or vegan too. Breakfast good. Yes, hotel is a little tired around the edges but our room was comfortable and clean. A beautiful oak staircase and panelling leading upstairs. Some lovely features. Beautiful gardens.
