It’s a wonderful building with rich history. Excellent location. Downsides, it does not come with parking and that should be amended. While I realize they’re working on building a new car park, parking for guests was a concern. Air conditioning would be nice. It was really warm in our room

Personnel lacked commitment. Breakfast fast was borderline, empty trays were not filled up when there was plenty of breakfast-time to go. We booked a premium room which was a good size and newly refurbished. Mattress was new and firm as required. Bed size could have been a little larger. Nice bed cover. Adequate free parking facilities. Lift more than dated.

Oh dear catalogue of catastrophes. Room not finished. Food was appalling undercooked or overcooked only 3 choices for dinner. No red meat. Breakfast bacon was half cooked. Coffee lukewarm. Need to work harder to attract the right clientele.

Beautiful old building but with modern, basic rooms. Lovely dining hall and well maintained gardens, staff lovely. Windows unfortunately only partly opened - not ideal during our summer visit. Limited restaurant menu but other restaurants within walking distance. Bathroom a bit musty but the room was clean. Car parking very limited, priority seems to be coach tours. Overall good, would stay again, but not the best value for money at the price we paid.

Stay was good for a one night sunny weekend.

The stay was for one night, check-in was smooth. We had booked family room 1 double bed and 1 single bed. But we got 3 single beds. The little was not happy sleeping alone and kept falling of the bed as there were no barriers. Spring beds are very uncomfortable. The room was spacious and old mansion kind. Single glazing windows.

The property is an old hotel with a history of being a Victorian spa. Parts of the hotel are run down, however the room was spacious and clean. Beautiful scenery. We arrived a little early so our room was not ready - this was fine. The receptionist was rather officious and not particularly welcoming. We were asked to complete a hard copy form for our check-in details which was fine but we were not given a key to our room, so we could sit in the reception area (spacious and comfortable) in readiness to go to our room when ready. The receptionist never called us when the room was in fact ready. We were fortunate to ask a the desk to enquire about our room just as a large coach load of guests arrived. Had we not done so we would have had to wait until the coach load were checked in! The hotel was great but the check-in was not efficient or welcoming.

This is a huge old mansion converted to a hotel. It has a quirky charm and was fine for our needs for a quick stop.

Highland Fawlty Towers

What was once a grand hotel in its hey-day, it is now very tired, e.g. peeling paint, water stains on bedroom ceiling, etc. Very limited menu selection for evening meal, but food was the hotel's only saving grace. Everything else, sadly, had a Fawlty Towers vibe to it. The hotel needs a lot of investment and a complete overhaul of its staff training programme.
