As good as it gets.
Very relaxed, comfortable hotel with professional and friendly staff. The very spacious lounges, restaurant and bar are proper Scottish ‘auld world’ in decor and furnishings. Magnificent.

Not worth it😟
Unfortunately we were not impressed with anything on the inside of this property. The location and the outside was stunning. But lacking in so much on the inside. No service to help with luggage, so much was outdated. I'm good with antique and keeping with the style being a palace but that is not what this place looks like. Looks a bit sheaply designed if you could say designed. The restaurant and food was mediocre at best. We sad with everything. Will it be returning.

Bit disappointing and underwhelming for the price
Underwhelming for a £250 per night B&B rate. Lovely looking hotel and gardens but room was tired and dated for this price. Small, tired bathroom. Service was bang average again for the price and although staff ok, they could have made a bit more effort considering the price we were being charged. If I had paid £100 for room I probably would have been happier with things. Not the cleanest place with windows and mirrors dirty around hotel. Breakfast was cold and serving filtered coffee - no excuse for not having a decent self serve coffee machine these days. Our room was hotter than the sauna in the spa area and we had to keep the windows open. All a bit disappointing really.

Brilliant overall
Fantastic hotel with a range of services that we weren’t able to utilise due to time. Great bar/restaurant and food, and we would recommend this place to others.

Fantastic place definitely recommend
It was amazing would stay again. Staff looked after us especially me as a wheelchair user. Breakfast was in a room with steps going into it. My route was by the basement got some fantastic info from the staff about what the hotel was previously used for. They have a museum which was not open when we went. But staff filled us in with intresting knowledge.

Good but in need of a facelift
The hotel is very grand upon arrival, the staff are helpful and welcoming. The breakfast is superb and one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had - lots of options, both healthy and unhealthy.
I would say, however, that the rooms are in need of an upgrade. The bathroom I had was quite dated and a shower curtain was used which felt unhygienic. There was also no toilet lid too. Overall an okay stay but I would look to upgrade to a different room next time

Would have given five stars if the restaurant was better, mediocre meal and a bit expensive IMO.
Had a great weekend though, breakfast buffet is great
