"We loved our stay here. The check in staff were great - so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and very quick service. We booked this hotel for the spa as we were just looking for a night away to chill so the location was perfect. The view from the jacuzzi and sauna was so nice overlooking the Firth of Clyde (I think! 🙈😂😍). The only minor thing was after I booked I got notification that we could book the spa for a 2 hour period at a charge of £25 each - I should have realised with it being an actual spa hotel rather than one with a pool and sauna that there would be a restriction/charge and I probably hadn’t read the description properly but to be honest it was worth every penny. Another minor issue was that we could hear every person passing our room at night - not a big deal for us but maybe would be for others. Room was a really good size and was lovely and cosy. Would definitely stay again."

"My partner and I love this location but we noticed the check out time was 10am on a weekday so paid for some extra time in the morning. We popped the "do not disturb" sign on the door and luckily put the chain on but were a bit shocked.to find the cleaner trying to get in at 10am. She didnt seem to be aware that we were in for a longer stay which made us both slightly annoyed. We will happily stay again but not if that keeps happening. Staff are lovely, location has fabulous potential and is clean, open and very peaceful, great for if you have a busy lifestyle and want to escape. Didn't try the resteraunt as we had seen a few bad reviews but if you can drive, some lovely eating spots are near by."
