"Hotel looked like it had seen better days, food could be improved."

7.0

Lovely location

Rooms were a bit tired. Furniture was worn and underneath was pretty dusty. Staff were all lovely but the service was pretty slow even though it wasn’t very busy. There was an open fire but it was never lit. This would have made a difference in the lounge bar. The food was pretty average. On the second breakfast served a small pot of baked beans each. 3 beans in my partners pot and five in mine. The rest was just sauce. Tiny amount of mushrooms. Breakfast was pretty disappointing

"Perfect location for a tranquil stay."

10.0

The breakfasts looked and smelled delicious, however my travelling companion can not eat more than a slice of toast and I feel guilty eating when he can`t. Anywhere else I would have asked for the breakfast as a take away for later, but was on my best behaviour, being in a five star hotel, my first time ever. Staff were all lovely and friendly, other guests happy to chat and nice to see dog friendly areas with friendly dogs.

There was nothing not to like, everything was perfect, truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

"Surreal."

10.0

From Phillip to Gerald the gamekeeper, including Alexander and the lovely lady who served me my traditional Highland fish breakfast but I’ve forgotten her name (Victoria?), all the staff, especially the kitchen staff for the marvellous food, went beyond the pale. I recommend this haven of peace. The summer might be a different ballgame altogether.

Nothing.
