Beautiful hidden gem

Friendly staff, great breakfast, beautiful grounds, comfortable bed, personal preference- I didn’t like the pillows, worn carpet, creaky floors. I suppose they add to the ambiance of the historical hotel. We were too hot during the night so propped the window open to get fresh air. Didn’t have any other way to regulate the temperature of the room

Not much to say, very disappointed

Room was old, dirty and matesses probably 20 years old. Didn't sleep all night, worst stay I've had in 15 years. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, breakfast was good.. but was spoiled by the night before in that terrible room.

Staying there was a pretty good experience in general. Staff was pretty good as was the food and the bar. The grounds had some trails to walk and and interesting relief map of Scotland. My only concern was with how my African brother in law was treated as compared to myself. When he asked for certain things from the staff he was told, this couldn't be done and that couldn't be done yet when i asked it wasn't a problem. They were eager to get it done. I'm not making accusations rather wondering outloud....

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
In checking, we were given a room which unfortunately was above the pool and you could hear a loud buzzing from fans and water jets. Contacted reception and we were given a quieter room straight away. No problem at all. The rooms themselves were looking tired and in need of refurbishments. We went for a swim in the evening and the lady’s changing room had a strong smell of urine which put me off. An okay stay overall. Good value for money.
