Wonderful stay disappointing New Year’s Eve

Pros: Beautiful building - wonderful food and nice location . Staff were wonderful and friendly . Room was gorgeous warm and comfy .

Cons: New Year’s Eve dinner was expensive £85 plus service charge each on top of the hotel stay . We were disappointed that the singer didn’t play upbeat music even after midnight so no dancing and no bagpipes no fireworks even though we were small in number we felt that towards midnight we could have been told to go into the main restaurant and maybe some bagpipes and countdown to the new year . It wasn’t really any different to any other evening . My husband who is Norwegian was very disappointed that Scottish new year didn’t seem that special . Talking to other customers they felt the same . I felt although the food was superb the actual New Year’s Eve magic was lost

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay

Pros: Service was absolutely amazing, both at the reception and breakfast. Room was comfortable and clean, bed was really comfy. The breakfast was good, it was nice that you could order from the menu. The view was gorgeus.

Cons: The room got really moist and you couldn't open the window to let any moisture out. Therefore it took e.g. forever for towels to get dry..

Nice accommodation in lovely setting.

Pros: Staff were very attentive. We had an issue with the television, which was sorted very quickly. Nice breakfast with plenty of choice.

Cons: A couple of small things. We ordered red wine for dinner, but it was served chilled, which ruined its taste somewhat. Also, the bread served with the camembert cheese was so brittle that you could break your teeth on it. My mum ordered the duck, but it came with virtually no potato. Was expecting a bit more from a somewhat expensive menu. We found a dirty palette knife down the side of one of the chairs in our room.
