I really love this hotel. They have just the right balance of luxury, efficiency and friendliness. The food from the new head chef is really good, even better than before. The new tasting menu is also superb. I also really liked the redecoration in the restaurant wich is now a little less chintzy but still sophisticated. They had also redone... More

I arrived at dusk on a winter's day to the tantalising promise of the panorama awaiting me in the morning, the cheer of roaring log fires and a warm welcome; the perfect beginning to a wonderful winter break. This gem of a hotel offers comfort, luxury, superbly professional yet friendly service and a glorious dining experience. The five course dinner... More

Arriving in late December at 4 pm makes the whole experience a bit sinister: it’s dark outside, nothing oft he praised view outside left ... We knew the house from 20 years ago and not so much has changed – only our room (a junior suite with small garden towards the parking) was modernised and very comfortable – even with... More

Thank you for your review. We take all feedback as constructive and aim to make corresponding changes wherever needed. However, I do feel I should address one comment as it could be construed as misleading to others. Throughout December, we had a total of 16 staff; 9 Scottish, 3 English, 2 Polish and 2 Hungarian. Of the 2 Polish, Pawel... More

We always go away at Christmas with family and this year decided to try a new venue and decided to try Airds where they were doing a 3 night package which seemed to include everything we wanted for a christmas break and we were not disappointed. What we wanted was shere relaxation and good food and this was exactly what... More

This was our second visit to The Airds and it really is simply superb from the level of service to the standard of food from the cream tea when we arrived to the stunning 5 course dinner and canapes beforehand and the overall sophistication of the place. Breakfast was simply divine and such a good choice on the menu. We... More

We have just enjoyed a 3 night break at the Airds which was wonderful, helped also by some lovely weather which was rather unexpected. We chose this hotel due to its excellent reputation and also because of the walks which are possible to do straight from the hotel without having to get in your car. We flew into Glasgow airport...

I've just returned from my 3rd trip to The Airds and once again I've not been disappointed at all. Despite wondering whether the food would be as fab as before - The Airds have recently got a new chef - I'm delighted to say that it's even more delicious than before. I ate at the hotel every night and, believe... More

Stayed at airds in their cottage which was in the grounds. Its a beautful quite location and very private. The cottage has 2 bedrooms one with a very comfortable large bed. The living area was open plan and had a good kitchen with most implements supplied. The seating was mixed, an old quite grubby armchair and a comfortable settee. Tv... More

Recommended with reservations. Superficially the room offered was cosy, but stained wallpaper and a shower that was essentially unusable (pulsing between scalding hot and cold) spoiled the effect. The Public rooms are splendid and dinner was simply exceptional. What spoilt it was the insistence that we were the first guests to complain about the shower as if we weren’t believed... More

We have visited the Airds before and enjoyed it so much that we have returned not for the first time. The hotel is absolutely delightful and since a change in chefs the food is simply superb - not that it was bad before! having read previous reviews we are of the view that they do deserve a michelin star and...
