Work stay
It met my needs for a bed to stay for the night, but room service was very slow for ice , had to recall (I know…. 1st world problems). Also the shower curtain was quite dirty, surprised to still see one of them in a hotel.
Parking was very poor but there was a wedding on. This was unfortunately under my room but was nice to hear their last dance 😂.

Never again
No staff. Stressed staff. Rude £8 tray service and cold expensive but tasty supper. Breakfast diabolical . No sign of the Stornaway black pudding as per menu just a dehydrated haggis. I felt sorry for the staff apart from the rude man who snatched a pen from my hand after I pointed out that my bill was wrong. He said he’d fix it and marched off. He did not fix it. Silly me I stayed here years ago and I had a similar experience . Thought I’d try again . Doh.

Tranquil and stately hotel
Very nice place. Quiet, with beautiful surroundings. Close enough to the city center. An old railroad track had been made into a walking and cycling trail near by.

Lovely stay and excellent staff
Lovely stay here for a wedding. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food and drink were good quality too. Our room could have used a bit of a spruce up - mainly just the bathroom as we liked the traditional decor. Would definitely return though.

Beautiful property. Breakfast was lovely but visit was spoilt by the lack of hot water…. It was tepid. Did mention to staff but as it was a weekend visit they couldn’t resolve till Monday which was too late.
No option of moving rooms …
