A really lovely hotel with an interesting history. The staff were absolutely lovely and really made the effort to look after us. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had our evening meal in the hotel with delicious food and top notch service. Overall we really enjoyed our stay
I have stayed in this Hotel a number of times and never had any complaints. But on this stay the evening dinner was on a four day rota and the main course was not very good. Breakfast time the replenishment of empty dishes was slow. Overall the Hotel has gone down since last year.

A little tatty in finish of painting & decor, but best of three I stayed in in 3 days. Evening entertainment was unexpected & thoroughly enjoyable.

Friendly staff. Our room however although clean had a smell which made the stay unpleasant.
Clean, simple room. Shower was ok, low on pressure. Biggest problem is the walls are paper thin. It was too hot but was fine with the window left open. Everything else was good, had a lovely stay.
The property is an old hotel with a history of being a Victorian spa. Parts of the hotel are run down, however the room was spacious and clean. Beautiful scenery.
We arrived a little early so our room was not ready - this was fine. The receptionist was rather officious and not particularly welcoming. We were asked to complete a hard copy form for our check-in details which was fine but we were not given a key to our room, so we could sit in the reception area (spacious and comfortable) in readiness to go to our room when ready. The receptionist never called us when the room was in fact ready. We were fortunate to ask a the desk to enquire about our room just as a large coach load of guests arrived. Had we not done so we would have had to wait until the coach load were checked in! The hotel was great but the check-in was not efficient or welcoming.
Wir waren nur zum Schlafen und Frühstücken im Hotel, ansonsten immer in der Umgebung unterwegs. Am Abreisetag zeigte man sich flexibel so dass wir schon vor der eigentlichen Frühstückszeit noch ein kleines Frühstück zu uns nehmen konnten. Häufig reisten ganze Busse an und ab. Es war in der Umgebung und auch nachts schön ruhig, das hat uns besonders gefallen.
We booked this hotel for our anniversary stop on our 2 week long trip across Scotland. We got there and there was 4 tour buses of people, which is nobodys fault. We finally get to our room and it was NOT what was pictured. Mold on the shower head, bathroom light, all around the shower. Stained carpet, dated furniture. The smallest tv I've ever seen. Uncomfortable bed. You could see the hallway light all around the door so there was zero sound proofing. I'm not sure if the tour groups got the rooms like the ones pictured, but I was so disappointed.
