    Saunas were all out of order, pool looked a bit dirty Shower in room was dated and water took a long time to drain away.

    staff were very welcoming and friendly, room was lovely and warm, clean and very quiet.

    Given the hotel's recent circumstances it's clear that a number of issues are in the process of being resolved. This did not detract from our visit

    Breakfast was very good. Great choice and no complaints 👌 The location was known to me and didn't disappoint.

    Obviously having read other reviews we knew not to expect the highest standard of decor ect in the building. Yes it's getting a much needed refurb and carpets need updating ect but we looked passed all that. Damp in hall carpets outside the pool area, saunas not working, but we knew that before we went. The grounds are filled with old hot tubs loungers ect but I'm sure once the new owners sort it all out it will be an absolutely stunning place to visit. We loved our room but there was just little inconveniences like the door not locking properly and no plugs by the bed. Dinner while lovely was a very limited menu and was much more expensive than the sample menu used on the website. That really needs updated as its very misleading. While we appreciate a hot plate at breakfast these were ridiculously hot. Even with a napkin or two you couldn't pick them up. The poached eggs had an odd smell and they were basically liquid when you cut into them.

    Absolutely stunning building in a beautiful part of the country. The grounds to hotel are lovely. Our room was big and beautiful with a view straight out to the golf course. Beautiful big pool all to ourselves. Grand entrance, hall, bar and dining area.. It really is a wonderful building. We liked our dinner and cocktails, and all the staff were lovely. Breakfast was great too. We loved our stay

    We had a few issues but they didn’t impact our stay too much. Feel like the rooms just need some TLC. We had some wallpaper coming off the wall and a blocked sink and toilet on arrival. It was sorted by staff promptly. Same with the spa - just needs some investment. We still had a great time!

    Room exceeded expectations! Was really large and loved the extra touches, made it feel premium. Staff were all extremely helpful and polite. Loved the bar and restaurant for both dinner and breakfast.

    Cooked breakfast wasn’t great.Sausages and bacon were hard,haggis was like muesli,potato scones were greasy.Very disappointing.Think in a hotel like this you should make the breakfast to orderWorst breakfast we’ve had in a long time by far.Facilities weren’t great.Saunas not working,gents changing room shut,very cold walk to the pool.When we arrived our room was freezing.Only one of our heaters worked.Ceiling bulb was out and bathroom was cold.

    The pool area and spa is really pretty run down - sauna out of order, and steam room a bit grim. Staff in the spa had not responded to email to confirm spa treatments, so did not get these. And staff in spa appeared to be more interested in chatting to each other than making bookings etc.

    The staff on reception and in the hotel bar and restaurant were very good. The rooms were spacious and clean - and the building is lovely. However, all is in need of an upgrade and I believe this is on the cards - but room rate that we got reflected this, and was good value.

    The bathroom, although very well appointed, was a bit in need of a refresh, but not a problem, we commented on it when checking out. The buffet breakfast was a bit limited but we have had far worse!

    Lovely hotel, friendly staff. Convenient for Glasgow airport if you want to splash out a bit! Would have liked to stay longer and explore to grounds and try a spa treatment. We stayed 2 nights after returning from our 45th anniversary holiday, 2 weeks in Madeira, we needed some Glasgow shopping before returning home, the west coast. We also treated ourselves to a meal in the Cristal restaurant which was very nice.

    The staff were wonderful and ensured a wonderful stay for myself and little grandson. The room was very comfortable, as was the bed. The ambience in the Grand Hall makes for a wonderful and relaxing place to enjoy some food or drinks. We used the pool both days, and it was a treat to share with only a couple of guests. The grounds and surrounding area make for a very peaceful and relaxing break.

    Not 5* but that is reflected in the price.Some of the food was overpriced but most of it was tasty.

    Fabulous building and surrounding area amazingStaff were fabulous especially considering the hotel is in the process of change of ownership.One course was not up to standard but this was resolved in a very nice manner by staff.Breakfast was lovely and so was room.Needing a revamp in certain areas and not a 5* rating but that was reflected in the cost and I would say it was good value for money Spa was good but again not 5*.I would go back.

    Some parts of the extension building in need of refurbishment. However I believe this is all work in progress since the takeover in December. The outdoor spa is not in use and ideally should be used to the maximum similar to the Roxburgh Schloss.

    Beautiful historic castle with lots of original features and character. Breakfast was very good, both buffet and table service available. Food was excellent in the evening in the restaurant.

    Breakfast was going to cost extra and also a £10 tray charge to have in your room is excessive especially when staying on your own

    Staff were very nice and the room was good but this is reflected in the price I didnt use the facilities so cant comment on that
