Location and provision of Garden Room 723 was excellent with private parking , fenced garden and direct access to garden and a patio with a seat/table (nt season to sit out) Well equipped room with a full, well equipped kitchen, spacious, beyond our expectation's. Food in Bar was excellent quality and value, food and overall experience in restaurant was 8/10, due staff experience, order mistakes. Location great for dog walks in grounds and locally, short walk or drive to town centre, which was thriving and busking, unlike many town centres these days. Comparing to Crieff hydro,similar quality resort but we now prefer the APH!

Check-in went well, staff helpful and friendly. Dead insect on window sill, but room appeared to be tidy, maybe empty for a while. Room has suitable, amenities, but dressing table mirror is too low to use, maybe a lower seat? One thing that was an issue was the heating, too warm even with radiators off and windows open. Lovely hotel, staff and surroundings though
