Disappointed with buffet breakfast as one morning it took over 10 minutes for the bacon platter to be replenished and another day only 3 small croissants left - both these occasions happened before 9 am.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A lovely and luxurious hotel in need of updating in some respects. Our room was a little odd - enormous but with a low ceiling and small windows for the size of room which made it rather dark. It is also rather dated and the furnishings are showing their age a little, but still very comfortable. We ate at the hotel on one evening and none of the items we ordered (both mains and wine) was available although on the menu. Porridge was a strange omission from breakfast for a Scottish hotel.

A great family stay

Stayed in a deluxe family room which was excellent. Very spacious with 2 large seperate bedrooms, hall and very large modern and beautifully finished bathroom. Smart technology mirrors in both bedrooms and good sized tvs. Beautiful views from the large windows and good storage in cupboards. Bathrobes and towels for the pool in the cupboards. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and glad we paid a bit extra for the deluxe room. We’ll definitely be back. Lovely traditional expansive entrance with lots of character. Great full sized snooker table room. Dining areas and conservatory all very nice and traditional. Swimming pool was a really good size, with good sized changing rooms. Lovely large windows overlooking the golf course. Jacuzzi was good but not the most modern. Sauna was out of order. Beautiful surroundings and lovely vast historical building. A nice walk through the woodland and past the golf course into Gatehouse. Overall really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Great stay

We had a great overnight stay. We used the pool facilities. Everything was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was so good to see where my dad, sister and brother were evacuated to from Glasgow when it was used as a school. I felt the hotel was a bit tired especially the bathroom but didn’t detract from our stay. The breakfast was perfect and the price we paid for the overnight stay was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend it.
