Good hotel but small areas for improvement

The hotel was lovely, good customer service and the room was a great size and well decorated. The bed was super comfortable but we had problems with a poor shower that didn't work properly for the 2 days we were there. The location is good and a 5 minute walk into the village centee Food in the restaurant was good, but breakfast took too long even though there went many tables.

New Year Break

Beautiful old building with wide open staircases and entrance hall. Our deluxe suite was warm and cosy and a nice place to be. Its set far enough back from the road that theres no noise. We had breakfast both days (breakfast roll and full Scottish) and both both were fantastic but the New Years Eve meal was by far the winner, couldnt fault any of it. Staff were friendly and accomodating even when I had to move our dinner reservation slightly at the last minute. The hotel is far enough away from big towns to benefit some lovely views and drives nearby and even has a waterfall and walks right out the back, but not too far from towns that you are isolated. The only thing I could possibly fault was the shower. The water pressure was so poor it was just a trickle that barely tinsedthe soap off you. Whilst the temperature of the water was eother stone cold freezing or out of the kettle boiling with nothing in between no matter how minir the adjustment to the dial was. Whilst the shower was disappointing we wouldnt hesitate to stay again as overall we had a wonderful trip away.

Nice property. The day of our checkout we had to leave the place quite early so we asked to get breakfast before 8.30AM. No chance. Breakfast opens at 8.30 and not one minute before. No exceptions.

Had a great night stay in this old-looking building. The deco inside the building is very Scottish. The room came with 2 sparkling water and chocolate snack. One minus point is the clothes hanging place is small, there’s no cupboard. The location is 15min drive to Stirling Castle.

Staff are wonderful - very helpful and friendly. Room 3, as a deluxe double, was very dark and small, especially the distance between toilet and shower unit which would not make sitting down possible for anyone above average height! The dinner was excellent. Breakfast was good but 8.30 is a very late start. Disappointing that porridge with fruit involved a teaspoonful of defrosted fruit at the height of Scottish berry season.
