"Practically Perfect In Every Way"

10.0

This was our second stay at this fabulous hotel.We chose to stay here as it was so easy to use the valet parking and as my husband was having an op at Spire hospital I was staying the last night by myself and wanted to feel comfortable.I could not have wished for better attention and kindness from everyone!The breakfast is exceptional and as I used to be a travel agent I am well used to 5 star luxury on our “hosted” trips but this hotel does everything better.True Scottish hospitality I would say.
