We loved everything about this hotel!!! Lovely room with view over the garden. Staff went out of their way to help us & so polite & friendly. Especially Kayleigh!!! I made a new friend there. Good luck with Uni, Kayleigh!!! See you next year. Food was exceptional. Massive servings. Best Scottish breakfast ever!!! Great chef!!! Brilliant location for my mother-in-law's. 2 minutes down the road. Ideal for our days out in the surrounding area. Garden is so beautiful. Our second time staying here & will be back next year for sure!!!

Our room could have done with new wallpaper as it was peeling off the wall & carpet could do with a clean.

Wow where to start, I found this gem while visiting the local area. The inside is very warm and cosy and beautifully decorated. The staff were so warm and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. No impersonal self-check-ins here people! My room was on the top floor and can only be described as a cosy little snug. Gorgeously decorated with pretty lighting and an illustration of a castle. The bed was decent and had a lovely tartan rug on top. I was delighted to see there was a pretty antique-looking writing desk and chair in the room with plenty of space to hang clothes and store bags. There is a nice bath in the bathroom and this is the first place I saw had a proper bath matt as well as a matt in front of the loo. No moving the thin little matt around with a foot in this bathroom! I loved the fact that I could open the window in both the bedroom and bathroom. Pleasant continental breakfast, and decent coffee. The evening meal I had here was scrumptious everything on their menu looked amazing. The dining room had so much ambience and music in the background was not over loud meaning people were still able to talk to each other. Parking right outside. Bravo! highly recommend. I ended up booking a second night. Would visit again.

If I have to pick one thing it would be refresh the pillows.

The location was perfect for us. It is a lovely old style hotel with lots of character. The rooms were excellent. We loved the 4 poster bed.

Pillows were terrible. Either replace them for pillows that have some filling inside them or put more pillows in the room. No grab handles to assist in getting in and out of the bath, which was a bit of a concern for a ‘wobbly’ 70 something year old, especially as the wonderfully powerful shower managed to spray onto the bathroom floor due to a totally useless narrow glass screen! The toilet seat was broken at the hinges, so if you managed to get in and out of the bath in one piece, the toilet would probably get you. It would have been nice if the heating in the room had been turned on a couple of hours before we arrived. It was 0°C when we arrived and the room and bathroom were really cold.

The property is a traditional building with lots of history and some of the original fixtures have been kept together with adding some modern features too. The hotel has recently had a refresh of painting which enhances the traditional feel. The staff can’t do enough for you and are friendly and helpful. It’s cosy, clean and very comfortable. Plenty of parking is available on site. The breakfast is hearty and I love that they have a barista coffee machine delivering that ultimate coffee/caffeine hit with breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu delivers a selection of foods together with the ultimate traditional Italian pizza selection too. The pricing for a stay is affordable for a perfect getaway with friends.

Nothing. It ticks all the boxes.

Staff accomodationg and very welcoming. Not too pushy. Asked if we needed rooms cleaning that day if they saw us. Breakfast fab on the weekend, room lovely and could change temperature easily. We find all hotel rooms too hot

Draw space very minimal for a week long stay. No hot breakfast on the weekdays, disappointing if you are there all week but I understand that this was not in season so do appreciate. Gave us some interesting trips out and about to find some hot breakfast choices.

The staff first and foremost!! Then the food....just perfect and we are both fussy so and so's

The slight clash of colours and patterns in room 6, oh and the new jukebox with it's terrible selection of music .....that sadly is a major issue, music for ourselves is very important ! We much preferred the chefs playlist prior to the new machine being fitted. The lighting in room 3, as on our first night it was far too bright in both the bathroom but mainly in the bedroom, due to the bedside lamps, also the lack of privacy when in room 3 in particular whilst in the bathroom.....flash aaaahhhh..... three minor things that are easy to change though xxxx The radiators in both rooms we stayed in, either need to be painted, or ideally covered as they are both not great. You have a great place, with amazing bones!!! .....the lodge just needs some TLC in areas.

Great property with vast outside area and different areas to enjoy a drink (bar, outside, restaurant, sitting area etc). Has the BEST shower I’ve had in a long time and the food in the restaurant was delicious (I had the Jack Daniel’s boneless wings & ribs followed by biscoff cheese cake). The blonde lass serving me was amazing - friendly, helpful and humorous. The house wine was also very good. Location is perfect and it was quiet in the evening (once the last of the drinker left).

The only criticism I had is that I was a bit warm (even with window open) but I’m sure they have fans or something. I just didn’t ask.

Lovely building in good location. Exceptional friendly helpful staff, especially chef. One of my dinner guests was vegan, and the choice was less than I'd been led to believe when booking. However, the chef rustled up a tasty vegan meal. My bedroom was pleasant, but the carpet was very stained and wallpaper peeling above bed. I need to say this would not put me off visiting this attractive hotel again.

Nothing really. Maybe someone slightly less agile would prefer a bedroom on a lower floor. Was fine for me.

I stayed in the studio room which was perfect for me as I needed somewhere to stay between work assignments and wanted to be fairly self sufficient. I had a really warm welcome and the staff were lovely. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but there were lots of people there partaking so it is a good sign and a great place to go for that. I visited a local castle which was really interesting and there is lots to see in the area so I can thoroughly recommend staying here.

Lovely gardens and the staff were fantastic, very dog friendly and welcoming.

Layout of the room could be improved, we both hit our heads on the sloped ceiling above the bed and not easy to relax in bed due to the ceiling with only one desk chair in the room. Moving the bed onto the other wall next to the window would improve comfort, or provision of a coffee table a 2 comfortable chairs for those on longer stays. Offering B&B and dinner packages would be good.
