“Prime spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012 via mobile

We did a last minute booking and when we arrived we realised we had booked the wrong date but the lady on reception was very helpful and ws able to change our booking. The room we had was very clean and comfortable. The only slight problem was the shower wasn't very powerful and took ages to warm up. We ate at Rocca restaurant, we weren't able to get a table at the time we wanted but staff were very helpful and said they would ring our room as soon as one became available. The meal was superb and staff very helpful. Overall a fantastic stay and we would definitely visit again. Thank you to all staff.

Staff could have been more helpful, had a lovely meal in One Under and really love the refurbished lounge bar.

Great location, great rates parking an issue. Staff great and attentive apart from the chuckle brother lookalike who costs this review a point.

“Stylish and with character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We stayed here for one night between Christmas and New Year as I had to be in the town on business. The rate with breakfast was under £100 and we seemed to get what was termed an executive or superior room which was not what we paid for! This room was lovely and in good condition unlike some of the other reviews posted.

We had the Swilken Room which looked out at an angle to the OLd Course. Excellent view.

Did not eat here at night, eat at The Dolls House instead which I can heartily reccomend, but breakfast was OK, just Ok, as the choices of cold starters was limited and tghe cooked Scottish was portion controlled!

Car park was OK on arrival as Hotel was not busy but when we were leaving the Hotel was getting a lot busier and the car park was double and treble parked so beware.

All in all a pleasant place to stay if you can get a good rate. Would not like to pay full price.
