Lovely hotel as a perfect place of calm through a family bereavement. Staff are superb - so friendly, accommodating and helpful. Cosy room - just what was needed.
2-night trip

8/10

Superb grounds, lovely garden, comfortable room. Suggest they think about their dining room music as technobeat not favourite with the pensioner market!! One or two minor maintenance issues - basin pop up plug & escutcheon. Very helpful staff Really irritating experience with EVcharger— not hotel’s fault but part of the reason we chose it. Restaurant prides itself on good Scottish food : public health / short life span contribution could be to offer more included vegetables!!!

Amazing house. Large rooms, but awkwardly set up. Bath only, no shower. No conditioner in shower, no easy place for hair dryer. Pretty dusty room. But there is a lot of potential here with some minor tweaks for a better guest experience. I’d recommend management to spend a few nights in the hotel to pick up on these small things.

10/10

So many positives: stunning grounds, beautiful property, fantastic restaurant and amazing staff. Negatives: The bed was far too soft and marks on furniture. Still deserves a 5 Star for overall experience.
