“Not worth the money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • One-Bedroom Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
For £275 per night we expected more for our money. Breakfast wasn’t included and when we returned late in the evening from a function outwith the hotel there was no option for a drink at the bar or even hot chocolate/ cup of tea. On arrival You can’t get in to your room till 4pm and have to leave by 10:00. All in all it was a poor show so we won’t be back.
Lovely setting and room very comfy

“Rooms Great, Staff Great, Pool a bit noisy and not as relaxing as I was looking for on Saturday”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite with Fireplace
- • Stayed 2 nights
I did go there for relaxation so I found the steam room very busy and got a lot of noise from the kids playing in the pool just outside on Saturday afternoon........ It's probably the time I went in, it's probably quieter in the week. Also there were crying kids in the changing rooms so it felt a bit like the public pool in Elgin so I just got out of there ASAP. I would have used this facility more if it was quieter as it was basically the reason I chose this hotel. Plus the Jacuzzi was not working so I would have defiantly used this if it was available.
The rooms where great very big and had a handy wee kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was super clean. One of the nicest places I've ever spent the night.

I know it is off peak but was quite surprised there was no food in the club house between 2pm and 5pm, we know there was a hen party of 14 booked in who like our selfs tried to get food around this time. Would have thought we could have got toasties, sandwiches chips etc at this time while the rugby was on and the bar was busy but were told just crisps or a cake!
The suites and club house are looking very good now they have been done up.

The rule that my 14 and 12 year old and 7 year old could not swim with their dad ( the 2children to 1 adult ratio) 👍14 and 12 year olds are almost always competent swimmers .
The suites were lovely despite no oven to cook our pizzas !

“Nice place to stay and visit but felt very disappointed with the water situation.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • One-Bedroom Suite
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
There was very hot water coming out of the cold water taps , this happened on two occasions and we couldn’t use the showers in the room, we had to go and use the showers at the pool. This got fixed twice but there should not be any hot water coming out of a cold tap full stop! The cold supply should be mains fed as it can be contaminated if connected to a tank or any hot water source full stop. We have asked for a room rate reduction on check out, we advised the manger would contact us but hasn’t done. The pool was very cold on our first night and the hot tub wasn’t working properly, on the second night the hot tub was very very hot the pool was a better temperature but there wasn’t any shampoos in the shower areas , annoying as we couldn’t use our room showers.
Nice area , hotel in general is nice. Bar and food staff nice.

“A lovely hotel, but works going on tainted our stay slightly”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • King Studio
- • Stayed 4 nights
We weren't informed that there would be works going on. This meant there were workmen outside the pool area, which was a bit uncomfortable. They were also walking around outside our room, so we kept the curtains closed. When we complained to reception, and said we wouldn't have booked the hotel had we known the work was going on we were offered a different room, but this would have actually been more disruptive to us. The fix would have been to say when we booked that there would be work. Their response was that they didn't think it was required as no facilities were affected. There was no full breakfast available, only a very over-priced continental. A hotel of this standard should have cooked breakfast options.
Pool area and hot tub were great. Rooms were recently renovated and nice.

the hot and cold water tap was not great. was hot water a bit to hot and when run a bath only hot water was coming out even through the cold tap. We had to stop every thing and just run the cold on his own which came cold after awhile. But this disagreement was not very important. Such a pretty hotel. Will definitely come again and will recommend it to all my friend with no hesitation.
the suite room was so big and wonderful with the electrical fire. very nice bathroom.
