"Overall this hotel was probably our most disappointing stay on our 5-day tour of Scotland. Whilst the main building and surroundings looked really nice, it did not make up for the disappointment of having to stay in one of the lodges round the side/back. In our lodge, the floor creaked so badly and loudly that we resorted to not moving too much when in the room. If I had known about the 'motel' lodges then I would have booked elsewhere.
The staff, on the whole, were professional enough but always seemed too busy and somewhat 'distant'. At no point did we feel 'welcome', not because the staff were unfriendly but rather mostly too busy to deal with us.
The only saving grace was that the quality and standard of food was exceptional. As a foodie, I can honestly say that every element was exceptional. It's not a 'cheap' eat but the quality makes it worth every penny. Kudos goes to the kitchen and restaurant staff.
Would I choose to stay again? NO. Would I choose to dine here? ABSOLUTELY."
