Beautiful grounds and location, the staff were friendly and service was excellent. The room was beautiful. The evening meal in the restaurant wasn’t the best but the breakfast was superb. Plenty of continental options and cooked breakfast very tasty. Again, the staff the next morning were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely Hotel

Lovely old building with high ceilings and well equipped rooms. Staff all very friendly and accommodating. Food very good. Carpets and round the exterior of the windows could have been a bit cleaner, but not bad enough to deter us from booking again.

Lovely house with character. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Could be a bit cleaner in the rooms. We were the only ones dining in so slightly lacked atmosphere but staff had the right level of attentiveness. Breakfast nice and freshly cooked. Great wedding venue.

Very welcoming, lovely food spoilt slightly by a dead fly squashed on the room window, not in a position that could have been overlooked. Some areas of the room were a little shabby, but we still intend to stay there again.

Very good location as a stop over from Scotland. The hotel is really very nice, lovely grounds, nice bar and public rooms. Great breakfast. Our family room on the top floor was a bit stuffy, it could do with a proper air-con unit and the shower was a little tricky to get out of as you clamber over the bath rim. Very nice dinner too, although the steak was a little over-cooked.

We stayed for 2 nights. Needed a dog friendly hotel and this ticked all the boxes. The grounds are beautiful and extensive. Waking up to half a dozen deer on the lawn was lovely. The family room was fantastic, the bathroom was very clean and looked newly renovated. The food is as all the reviews state. We enjoyed every single meal. We are already looking at booking another stay.

Quirky charm

Definitely a wedding hotel like many these days, but the room we had was huge, clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a very interesting building and charming in may ways. The staff were attentive and the food was good. The windows propped up by sections of log show that some parts of the hotel need attention.

Staff were very friendly, Lobby was very grand and old fashioned as to be expected in a manor, breakfast was nice beds were comfy, only thing that was a bit disappointing was the room and decor was a bit dated could of done with a refurbish as it didn’t match the bathroom witch looked new and modern overall we had a pleasant night !

Once we arrived there, we found that the hotel was closed because of the strike. No explanation in advance. We had to book other hotel suddenly and we couldn't have a choice but to stay at a hotel that is far away. We can't believe it and we don't recommend all of you to stay here.

A lovely place to stay, we treated ourselves to a state room so had superb views, bed was really comfy and there was even a tv at the end of the bath. We arrived about 2 hours ahead of check and was told we would have to wait till 3 or pay a £25 early check in fee .The lady was lovely, made a fuss of our dog, she was really helpful in providing info about a walk we could do, which we really enjoyed & had a lovely cream tea at Leven's Hall during the walk, dogs are welcome in the courtyard there. Improvement opportunity for the hotel, the lady didn't check if the room was available, I think it would of been as we only booked it 2 days ago and nearly went for 2 nights, so it was available then. If we had requested early check at time if booking then I can understand the fee, if the room was available when we arrive why charge the fee, we may well have gone to the room and then had a cream tea at the hotel and then spent our money with the hotel, after all that's what you're probably hoping your guests will do, not the ladies fault I guess just the hotel policy.
