The room was very comfy, clean and quiet. Food from the Liberte restaurant was superb !
The AC seemed to be set on a specific temp which was rather cold for scotland weather.

Gorgeous hotel. Great location for what i was looking for. Rooms had everything we needed & more. We dined in the restaurant which was lovely the food was 10/10. We also had a drink at the bar. We used the pool & steam room in the morning which was lovely. Would definitely come back again. Bed was soooo comfy, Staff were so kind to upgrade us room also. Great experience all round :)
