"I found returning here after 15 years to be a sad form of nostalgia. We used to come here in the late 90's as a large family group and have so many fond memories of this place. We remember having a grand evening dining experience with a man in a kilt waiting for us at the top of the grand staircase, and adults dressing in their fine clothes for the evening meal while children would eat in the Bannockburn room. Things have changed, and while I accept there is a need to modernise things, the whole soul of this place has gone now. The state of disrepair of the property is very obvious, but what was sad is that I felt some of the repairs would be very simple to do. We paid just under £300 for our rooms and feel this was completely out of line with the experience. Our balcony which was 2 floors up was literally crumbling apart and had caution tape on it to suggest 'don't lean here'. This is completely unacceptable for a room at this price. The old fashioned but classy feel of the rooms have been replaced with a soulless modern chich vibe and it was all just quite depressing. One of the ceiling lights in my room wasn't even working and the room felt bare with two cheap sofas stuck in the middle to fill the space. There was peeling paint work and rotten wood everywhere and a general sense of 'we don't care anymore'. At 10pm my room was freezing. I called 3 times and went in person to reception to resolve this. The heating never came on and I slept the night COLD."

"This is without a doubt the best hotel I have stayed at in my entire life. The level of customer service is second to none. The rooms are exceptional, the grounds are immaculate, the spa is beautiful, the outdoor pool is heated to a toasty 32C according to my watch. What an incredible stay. I find it really hard to find any faults. If I had to pick one fault. We had an 8:45pm dining time at Charlies on a Sunday night and I will admit that dinner took absolutely AGES! I think the poor staff were run off their feet and you could see how stressed out they were. The food was absolutely delicious. We did have one slightly pickier eater who would have loved a simple steak but there was none on the menu. I loved the food however. The clay pidgeon shooting experience was booked through the hotel and the man who took us was such a gentleman. We paid £120 for the experience and he was happy to share the shots between our group. I would absolutely do this again when we return. The golf course was immaculate and beautiful and everyone I had an encounter with was lovely. Even the local members on the course were happy to chat. We can't wait to return again in the summer."
