The first family room was smelling of damp, towels were very damp, individual shower gels were empty& left in shower. Pubic hair on the toilet seat. There were 3 staying, only 2 mugs & the glass had toothpaste in the bottom of it. We were really looking forward to our stay. Heard the food was great, just didn't take the chance & ate elsewhere.

Requires refurbishing.
Fabulous grounds but the hotel itself is in need of serious refurbishment. Our room still had wood chip wallpaper on the walls. That said the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.

The room was well appointed and comfortable. I found the breakfast ok, and the attendant not observant of our needs despite it being not busy, at the time we were dining only the two of us. We would have lived more coffee and some yogurt but the attendant had left the area not to be seen again. We also were not given the code for the outside door and had to call to get back in after arriving back from dinner out. The greeting was warm upon arrival, the bedding nice. The shower took very long to achieve proper pressure and heat. It was a lovely place despite these things.

Good Scottish independent hospitality
Quick check in, room very spacious though could do with a few more hangers. Looks recently refurbished carpet and headboard and bed very comfy. TV on bracket has good swivel so can be viewed both in bed or from the sofa or chairs. Would benefit from a large bulb in the bedroom center light. Bathroom bit small and the shower cuts out a lot of the light from the basin. Food all freshly cooked to order and the curry dishes should not be missed - all excellent authentic with delicate spicing, not burning hot as some can be. Breakfast again cooked to order and served at the table other than juice and toast.
