The communal rooms were lovely, the gentleman who served us dinner and breakfast was professional and to a high standard, even made sure that are deserts were out in time for a taxi that was meant to be booked.
The breakfast good very good but a slightly pricey, for half a haggis, black pudding, Clootie dumpling circle and a kids sized glass of fresh juice … I found someone else’s hair clip on the carpet, a lot of noise from other rooms for doors closing, we ordered a taxi and the hotel booked it and they had booked it for the next day rather than what we had asked this resulted in us being late for our show. Paying for parking was expensive.

beautiful property and grounds. well presented interior. felt like a special venue, above ordinary. meal was great.
we felt there was a sick-y smell in the bathroom but it looked clean, it wasn’t till the morning we noticed on the bottom of the drawn curtains there was sick from previous tenants. the shower only seemed to be hot, I couldn’t work out how to lower the temp. booking process was a bit tricky. on booking.com it wasn’t clear how to add a pet, so I called and was told this would be fine. we also had a 4 year old with us and booking.com default was to sell us two rooms. called again as didn’t want our daughter to be separate and they said no problem for a portable bed and to just book as a couple on booking.com. could have been clearer.

It's a beautiful building, set in amongst lovely grounds. Had dinner which was good, I'm lactose intolerant and was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any dairy free mains, my dish had to be adapted, it would be great to just ask for a proper dish, specifically made with no dairy. Only dessert on offer was Sorbie, again disappointed, there are loads of really good dairy free sweets out there!

Everything excellent apart from episode with bath Beautiful surroundings Beautiful house Excellent friendly helpful staff Excellent food drink and accommodating professional staff Appreciated the male managers response to our complaint in morningwhich he dealt with in a very understanding approachable professional manner to rectify situation
Stench that enveloped the bathroom 🚻 and room Poor response from the female manager who was asked to come to room to smell for herself but refused x So disappointed Obviously thought it wasn't important Couldnt use the bathroom facilities and had to vacate room early in evening for our meal as still a acrid stench Couldn't use bathroom facilities in morning either as scared it would happen whilst using bath or shower Unsettled night as anxious it would happen overnight clouded our stay for our ruby anniversary which was in Oct but postponed as I had pneumonia Overall disappointed what was supposed to be a relaxing stress free stay resulted in a traumatic experience x

It was all so lovely.the outside,the inside everything so good.and the shower and water temp was good.did want to stay an extra night which was OK with you,but we'd previously had a booking at stirling and couldn't change.
Didn't like the parking as when we came home later we had to park out the back.

Nice clean toilets and polite personnel.
Soggy toast. Toast is supposed to be served nice and crispy. It was served lying flat on a plate resulting in soggy toast instead of in a toast rack.

The setting is beautiful with a woodland walk, golf course and lovely scenery. The room was clean and comfortable and the food was good.
One of the staff appeared to be anti-english and made the visit to the bar a little uncomfortable, other than that lady we were very well looked after. The bed under-sheets were ill fitting meaning they had badly ruffled by the morning. Customers beware this is a listed building so there are no lifts.

Tranquil setting in the countryside. Traditional old county house that has retained its original features. Modern dining area and ample parking with grand entrance area

Lovely grand hotel, very luxurious, Nice room, I booked a single room but ended up with a double. Great woodland walk just over the road. The food in the bistro was very nice and good value for money
The only slight disappointment was the breakfast, sausages weren't great, toast was burned, apart from this it was great
