Our stay was perfect! Rooms were spacious, clean, and our accessible room was an excellent layout and perfectly functional. Breakfast was outstanding, afternoon tea in the library was excellent, the dinner menu was a bit limited, but what thay had was all delicious. Item of note is they do not have bell carts, and bell service is charged @£5 per bag.. Didn't use the service but was surprised given the exceptional service we found otherwise. Great base for our 3 nights..Highly recommend

If you are looking for a castle country estate retreat in Scotland, this is the place. The long elegant drive in leads to the lush entryway. The bar and dining rooms are elegant. Carved wood and wainscotting everywhere. Fabulous dining, large quiet rooms. Best elevator ever.

A great gem of a hotel, this was our first visit and will return soon. The staff were really friendly and seemed happy to be there. The hotel was really nice and quite impressive, our room was lovely, a bit of wear and tear noted but nothing a lick of paint wont sort out, sitting in the bar area was very comfortable there is a good variety of food and beverages on offer, the food was delicious and you know its all freshly prepared, the breakfast was great, lots of choice, some options had a small surcharge, The grounds of the hotel were well maintained and there is ample parking available. The rooms were spacious and clean. Extra pillows available if you need them and there is lovely toiletries.
