Superb, peaceful location with warm, professional service and an exceptional dining experience.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly, caring, knowledgeable and professional.
Our room was large and comfortable with outstanding views over the estuary; the grounds were exceptionally well maintained with several amazing specimen trees (some planted in the first half of the 18th century!) and these framed the hotel to perfection.

The menu, food quality and presentation at dinner were all ata level one would expect in a highly-rated city restaurant - a remarkable performance in this rural location.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Location and exterior

Cons:

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL ON BOOKING.COM. It will cost you £100 per night more than booking directly via their website (as the hotel’s website boasts). Not 10% more - £100 a night MORE! For those of us on a tour booking multiple hotels it’s just not practicable to go on each potential hotel’s website. Because of the disparity between price and the quality of the room I checked their website on arrival so seeing that message didn’t exactly warm the cockles of our hearts.

Secondly do not book this hotel anyway. Yes it’s in an amazing spot but our twin room was incredibly pokey with sad, worn out furniture and a stained carpet. We paid extra (a whopping £400 a night) for a sea view that you could only see if standing in the middle of the room or seated on a very uncomfortable stool at the desk (one person at a time). No comfy chairs to sit in. By the morning the condensation on the windows meant no view at all until you have breakfast.

But your £400 a night doesn’t get you a cappuccino. No “speciality coffee” available at breakfast because “we find breakfast service works better without it”. So it’s not that they can’t make a cappuccino it’s that they don’t want to. To be clear there were 4 other people having breakfast at the same time as us.

We’d read about hotel awards. About staff that were friendly. About amazing service, fabulous beds and wonderful views. For that and the location we were prepared to pay £400 a night. Don’t believe a word of it.

Beautiful space with rich history, serene natural beauty, and incredible staff.
Pros:

The property was so rich in history and natural beauty. The loch was receded from the shore so we were able to walk out quite a ways. The air smells so lovely and salty. The staff was beyond exceptional. They were polite, professional, cheerful, & accommodating. Our room was beautiful and so cozy. The chef may be the best chef in all of Scotland. Every single thing we ate was incredible from the eggs to the Haggis. The photos can’t do it justice.

Pros:

Great location, with beautiful views. Lovely garden and the hotel looks very impressive from the outside.

Cons:

Feel the hotel is getting a little tired and shabby on the inside. However, I think this is reflected in the price. I would expect to pay twice as much if it was fully refurbished, so I think it's value for money. Has a lot of history and character

Pros:

Le lieu, le parc et la grande chambre extra avec un très grand lit super confortable. La deco assez old school tres scotish. Le dîner et les petits dej etaient très biens aussi. Le personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Rien de particulier, peut être un petit coup de "réfresh" sur les parites commune tout en gardant ce style tres scotish pour monter encore en gamme.

Had a lovely relaxed stay in a beautiful pink castle with top class food and service.
Pros:

Absolutely stunning location, beautiful building and surroundings. The staff were amazing very friendly and attentive. The hotel was a lovely old building and the furniture and decor matched the vibe and character with added extras of modern needs like a small fridge, tv on the wall and fab shower. We had breakfast which was absolutely beautiful, the taste and presentation and service were spot on. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to have dinner but the menu was lovely.

View were lovely and the breakfast service and food was a wow factor.
Pros:

The room that we stayed in was lovely and big. The views were lovely too. The breakfast was the best out of the whole stay they were very helpful and kind

Cons:

The television was so small you could not view from the bed. They did not have a safe for all our personal belongings. To much furniture in the room that spoiled the character of the building.
