It’s a stunning venue and location, close enough to everything but not in the total crowd rush. The restaurant was lovely and the room superb.
There was building work in the morning which meant we had to keep the blinds closed on the enormous windows in the morning. Would have been good to know before booking.

Disappointing
staff at night were not interested and had 0 interest in customer service reception was poorly marked. and when i eventually got there the staff were more interested in their conversations then helping us.. why work there if ure not interested in customer service. u might as well deploy a self service systen wen we found our room.by ourselves after some time. it was dirty curtains broken and not private. room doors dont go to the floor so u can here the other guests talking and having fun day staff ok but checkout instructions are not clear booking.com says 11 but its actually 10

Staff allowed us to leave our backpacks and then brought it to the room before we came, thank you! Breakfast was absolutely stunning, the best one from all the Scottish breakfasts we have had. Be aware that it is still a la carte breakfast, not an open table. Clean, very good smelling soap and shampoo.
The bar was running till probably 2 or 3am with the guests having fun very loudly - that did not help to have a good sleep. It is not the most central location, like 15-20mins walk but along a beautiful meadow and streets.
