After speaking with the general manager regarding the price we paid for the room I felt she was try to make me feel guilty for their pricing mistake, even although this was our 3rd stay this year. She was not very pleasent to speak with. As long as this GM is in place we will venture to other hotels.

Beautiful hotel - staff extremely helpful and efficient. Well appointed rooms - lovely decor and furnishings, bathrooms had plentiful toiletries and amenity kits. Cleanliness throughout. Food was fantastic in both restaurants - especially enjoyed the dinner at Sandemans. Big thank you to Daniel and his colleagues for making it a lovely experience - and huge congratulations to Chef and his team for the fabulous menu. The food was outstanding! Enjoyed using the pool and sauna facilities - spa staff were very friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to experience great food and Scottish hospitality! Hoping to make a return visit for sure. Thank you so much!

Stayed a couple of years ago and definitely gone downhill. Seems to be reducing costs at detriment to customer experience. Low quality toiletries (not even supplied on first night). Pool/spa area needing a refurb, lockers not working in changing rooms, pool area needing refreshed and painted. Hot tubs outside not fully working and scum around rim. . Lack of variety in breakfast fruit options and low quality in cooked breakfast. Overall not a 5 star experience and really disappointed.
