Not pleasant
Pros:

The staff were great and very helpful

Cons:

The top floor room was terrible, zero (and I mean zero) water pressure - see the picture - this was on full!!!

One of the “clean towels” appeared to have stool on it!
The wallpaper was peeling

The parking if aweful!

Overall it just wasn’t nice!

Delusione non lo rifarei.
Pros:

L’esterno era piuttosto bello

Cons:

Struttura molto vecchia e poco tenuta con riparazioni a vista , moquette consunta che dava sensazione di trasandato seppur non fosse sporca. Paese fantasma

Excellent stay - we really enjoyed it and staff were great.
Pros:

The location and the garden grounds of the hotel are really beautiful.

Cons:

Mostly it was excellent but we had to change rooms after the first night because the first the room was too small for two adults and a dog.

Excellent value for money - great staff, comfortable accommodation
Pros:

All the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. I had booked a single room and it was very spacious compared to others I have stayed in. The evening meal (set menu, pay extra) was very good value for money and drinks from the bar were reasonably priced. The hotel is a little dated in places but is very clean and the grounds are lovely and well maintained. Breakfast was plentiful and varied - always good to have some haggis and black pudding at breakfast!

Cons:

Nothing really.

Enjoyable but VERY disappointed with the room. Drab and very unwelcoming, tucked away in the eaves.
Pros:

Breakfast was good for the money. Hot and plentiful.

Cons:

It was pleasant enough for the hotel price.
