    Some mold on the bathroom walls and the bed wasnt really comfy as i checked it was little broken on my side ;) bad luck to me. Too much noise till midnight because its a restaurant /bar downstair but overall we are really happy for that night. Thank you!

    What a nice village. One of the most beautiful villages in Scotland. The hotel is an old one but this is what you are going for i guess. To enjoy the medieval atmosfere and the surroumdings. Dinner was nice and breakfast too. Thank you!

    You could hear the bar music through the floor.

    Property was in a great location in a cute little city. Right on the main road with a very nice outside patio bar. The restaurant was cozy and the food was ok. My Scottish breakfast was great, but my wife’s pancakes were overdone. The room we had was noisy as it sat above the bar and one of the workers was blowing the front patio with a leaf blower 7 AM in the morning. For the money, it was just OK.

    There was nothing that I didn’t like about the hotel. It was brilliant in every way.

    The hotel was excellent and exceeded our expectations. A gorgeous room and very friendly staff. The food was superb also. The location was brilliant and right in the heart of the village. We stayed in the Queens room which also included a roll top slipper bath in the room which I loved. Sky tv with full package of sports and movies as a great additional touch. The bar in the hotel is a lovely small friendly bar and the separate restaurant was also brilliant. I know I have said the word brilliant a lot but this is the word to sum up this hotel.

    Falkland is a lovely little place. Nice to walk around in and lovely people. And I'd definitely recommend The Covenanter. It's Just a shame that The Covenanter was the only evening meal option/ bar open on the Friday night we stayed in Falkland

    The room was clean and had a view of the main street/Palace. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a good hot shower. The restaurant was good. We had a lovely dinner, excellent wine and a great Scottish breakfast the next morning. And the bar was a nice place to spend the evening too.

    We stayed in one of the 2 new rooms which aren't in the main entrance of the hotel. The door that leads to the 2 rooms which is on the street and has outside tables for people drinking outside beside it isn't locked and myself and my fiancée would just have felt a bit more safer if there was a lock to that door.

    Fantastic stay. Room was lovely, staff went above and beyond and the food in the restaurant was excellent. Will definitely stay yearly as we got engaged in The Covenater. There was a problem with the heating/hot water on arrival but the staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating and the problem was fixed ASAP. We had dinner in the restaurant and the lasagne was the best I have had anywhere. When staff found out we had gotten engaged they laid on prosseco and congratulated us. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location.

    The sound from the bar music almost made the room vibrate although i was there on a Friday and Saturday night and it stops at a decent time. The heating needs to come on earlier. In general though its a great little hotel.

    The location is fantastic. The food is excellent. The staff are very nice and extremely helpful.

    It is likely that the flush mechanism is not working and there was a repetitive noise from the toilet throughout the night.

    Outlander spirit :) very tasty breakfast, very nice staff.

    It was a little pricey, and the decor slightly dated. The guest before me left the language on the TV on German, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to fix it...but I STILL loved every minute!

    I stayed in the Queen Suite with THE most delicious tub, smack dab in the middle of the room. The bed was comfy. As an Outlander fan, it was a great place to stay! The staff was lovely, and the Scottish Breakfast was fantastic! Had dinner in the bar, and everyone was so fun!
