We booked a girls spa weekend with an offer through travelzoo which included 2 nights accommodation, breakfast, 3 course evening meal and a spa treatment all for £99, and were expecting that this was going to be too good to be true. we were wrong!! at no point did we feel we were getting a lower standard of service, the... more

Stayed for 2 nights while attending a family wedding. It was a lovely place to stay and the staff were very attentive. We enjoyed a meal in the Tower restaurant the evening before the wedding which was delicious. The waiting staff were tremendous and looked after everyone, including 2 young children who were present. The setting of the hotel was... more

Came here with my aged mother and her aged friend to have lunch and celebrate her birthday. Magnificent environs/grounds, well kept. We had no reservation and enquired about lunch at reception desk. Receptionist phoned the bar to see whether we could be accomodated since we were told they were expecting a large group 55 minutes later. We were told, "yes"... more

Had a 2 night stay here with my girlfriend and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were excellent throughout our time here and could not be faulted for their friendliness. At breakfast there was the option of both a traditional cooked or a continental buffet style or eat both if you were capable! There was plenty of choice of cereals, fruit,... more

This Hotel is living on it's past days of glory. It is now shabby and unkepmt with no sparkle at all. The saving grace for us was that the Staff we met were pleasant and the food was good. This place could be fantastic but right now avoid it like the plague. Stephen, Larbert more

Slightly unfortuante that we were checking in amongst the reception drinks of a wedding party, but even with no guests at the reception desk the process of just getting the room key was simply painful. I experienced the same issue as another reviewer in relation to not having a credit card to swipe on arrival, only a debit card which... more

We decided last minute to go and stay in the hotel. I knew we had made the right decision, when driving up the tree lined path. The place felt like it was in the middle of a forest, perfect for me and my mum to have some mother/daughter pampering! The check in was quick and easy (be warned you will... more

Booked a room only weekend deal. Lovely place, friendly helpful staff. Food was fine except for breakfast - £17.50 which was a buffet, serve yourself operation. Cold food, limited choice. For this price this is unacceptable. the 'hot' food on offer was cold, undercooked and about five items short of what constitutes a full Scottish breakfast. Must try harder... more

We have just returned from the worst trip ever. This hotel should be a 2 star rating at best. We arrived and to be fair the girl on reception was nice she checked us in ok although she did want a credit card to swipe and the debit card we offered was no good as it had to be a... more

The weekend we stayed was probably a bad gauge for this hotel as there was a wedding going on. However the service to those not at the wedding was pretty dreadful. The room had been cleaned but the toiletries and water hadn't been replaced. When we asked about this we were told that this was now company policy - which... more
