"We stayed 2 nights and paid £114 per night for bed and breakfast in a Heritage room called Irvine. The soundproofing in the room was shocking with a loud humming noise coming from behind our bed and the noise of doors slamming and guests talking. When I reported this to receptionist she acknowledged that the humming noise was from the room next door’s plumbing. I was not offered a different room. We were visited by both a spider and cockroach in the bathroom. I would therefore strongly recommend not to stay in the room called Irvine. The breakfast was OK. The croissants and muffins were fresh but when they were gone they were gone. My advice is to go for breakfast early. The porridge from the menu was very good and I would recommend it. IMO the property needs a lot of money spent on renovation and as an example the windows need replacing throughout the property. IMO most of the younger staff need extra training to help them understand better customer service. Overall our stay was a below average experience for a 4 star hotel, but reasonable value for money."

"The guy at check in was lovely - so helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, clean and well soundproofed. Bed super comfy. My only plea would be to have some signage (like some other hotels have in place) from airport but once we eventually found it hotel was great 👍 "

"Lovely quiet, clean room. Staff incredibly helpful and efficient. Breakfast, as always, was excellent. Their onsite parking is rather expensive though. However, cannot fault hotel."

"Wonderful hotel near Balmoral with comfortable rooms and staff definitely represented the classic highland hospitality! Great welcome and restaurant on grounds with cozy lobby area near a roaring fireplace. Staff gave great recommendations of the area. Will definitely stay again!"

"The place is picturesque and it could be so much more if they put effort in. The bed was comfortable but not the pull out bed. The breakfast was ok, staff was very limited sometimes you were waiting half HR for a seat when really there were not that many guests. The pool had some work done and the saw dust was sitting on the side for two days. Shame as it a lovely building."

"Very nice one-night stay. Lovely building and grounds. A bit too cold to enjoy the outdoors, but the gardens and general outdoor areas are very nice indeed. Would be fabulous on a nice warm sunny day. Rooms are large and comfortable, although facilities look a bit dated (not necessarily a bad thing if you like things old-school and traditional). Lovely staff, very welcoming. "
