Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spotless and tastefully decorated, complete with a lovely welcome tunnocks biscuit to enjoy with my coffee. The service was top-notch, with lovely and attentive staff. The location, set in woodland with carpets of snowdrops, was picturesque and serene. The dining experience was a true delight, presenting fresh and tasty options. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall wonderful experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though well decorated and comfy, lacked some essential amenities like a hair dryer and iron. The staff, while lovely and welcoming, were only average in service. The location, on the outskirts of a charming town with beautiful views, was a highlight. Dining was satisfactory but could offer more choices. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement.
