Property itself, cleaning, service quality and food quality were just perfect.

Hard to not list everything about this place. Genuinely gorgeous. If you’re looking or a modern getaway, this isn’t the place for you. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for an escape; for nature that stretches for miles, a cozy evening in by the fire, or a night looking up at the stars, look no further.

Loved this hotel, quiet and just what we needed for a rest. Food was exceptional and not too heavy, really liked the choice of restaurants which had varied menus. Staff were amazing and attentive.

The location of this hotel is completely stunning and we enjoyed walking around the immediate grounds. We were given a complimentary room upgrade which was lovely as we travelled with another couple and were celebrating a birthday. The way the staff greet you upon arrival was fabulous and we constantly felt staff were around if we needed them but they didn't intrude. Our rooms were gorgeous and enhanced by the lovely fresh flowers. The dining room was beautiful and the food and drink delicious. We had a special time.

Dining (breakfast & dinner) exceptional, staff from arrival to departure were friendly and managed every need quickly and efficiently. Castle itself and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Wide variety of activities were available, but all for additional costs.

The hotel and grounds were fabulous Food was first class and staff were exceptional. Public areas were beautifully presented and our room was big and furnished with beautiful antiques.

everything, and all the staff could not have been more helpful. we were always made to feel special. what was particularly nice was the manager and some members of his wonderful staff waiting to greet us outside the hotel entrance as we drove in.

elegant clean and fresh furnishings not tired at all as many castle style hotels can be

The food and the ambience was lovely. the staff were exceedingly attentive. the grounds were also very beautiful and we just wished we had had more time to explore. We had had to postpone our visit by a fortnight as we had contracted Covid and they were very understanding and did not make it a problem, which we were very grateful for.

Wow what a place! It was sublime from start to finish. The suite was beautiful and very large and comfortable, the grounds are really lovely and great to walk around, the food was excellent and the staff were extremely attentive even though they were struggling like many other places we visited on our Scotland road trip. The general manager personally came out to meet the guests during breakfast which was a nice touch and he was genuinely interested to chat.
