Room was clean and spacious and the breakfast was good.
The food menu for the restaurant and bar was very limited and poor . Not what you you would expect from a 4 star rated hotel. Also the bar and rooms attached to the bar were uncomfortably cold.

Was room only as leaving for early morning flight at Edinburgh airport. The room was a great size with very good facilities. The staff were all very friendly. Free parking was great.
We were a short walk away from reception. If we had had bulky luggage, might have been an issue as no lft and there were several steps down to the entrance to the building where our room was.

Beautiful grounds, nice hotel, rooms, good facilities & food, friendly & helpful staff and very dog friendly. It was my husband’s birthday and they gave us a chocolate birthday platter which was a lovely treat. You can take your dog into the bar for breakfast and dinner, but we ate in the restaurant and left him in the room.
The restaurant lacks atmosphere. Parts of the hotel require updating, especially the bar - it’s very dark, which is obvious as it’s a very old building, but the decor could be lightened which would make it more welcoming.

The check in and cleanliness.
1. There was no room safe.
2. There was no dressing gowns and slippers available in the room and you had to book a treatment in the spa to be provided with a dressing gown.
3. The cost of the meal in the bar was excessive.
4. No satellite TV.

Reception staff superb,
The bed was quite possibly the most uncomfortable and tired bed I have slept on. Restaurant staff appeared to be under pressure and not really performing to what I believe was there best.

The staff were brilliant, very helpful and informative with regard to the property and getting around the area. Location was excellent and the spa was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the staff at breakfast were very helpful. Really enjoyed our stay with you.
The only minor point was that the bar and restaurant were closed very early so we couldnt sample the bar food and drink of an evening after returning from Edinburgh and upon our arrival after a very difficult journey.
