Clean. Well kept
Not much. I think the new location for reception staff needs some kind of barrier. They are really close to doors from outside. Staff comfort issue.

Short walk from train station, beautiful classy interior. Our room was lovely, with big bath and walk in shower. The pool and spa areas great and well maintained. Breakfast was superb with a choice of cooked breakfast and large selection of cereals, pastries etc. Would definitely return.

* Brilliant location * Friendly staff * Large, comfortable family rooms * Rubber ducky to take home * Tasty breakfast * Umbrellas to borrow * Optional extras (including early check-in/late check-out, bathrobes and slippers) The point of excellence for this hotel was how they dealt with an unexpected hiccup regarding availability of facilities. Things inevitably go wrong from time to time whenever (and wherever!) you travel, often due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. When that happened here, the staff went above and beyond to ensure this didn't affect our stay. They offered an alternative and, when they learnt this would not work for our family group, they took excellent care to ensure we're kept informed on the progress of rectifying the situation and checked up on us to ensure we're ok with how things were being managed. Travelling with kids can be stressful (even more so with kids with additional needs!) but little acts of care and kindness like these from the hotel staff can really help with managing these stresses.
Scottish weather! ;) On a serious note though, nothing to dislike at all. My only suggestion would be to install, if possible, the little drying machines for swimsuits at the pool but not sure how feasible this is or how environmentally friendly these machines are!

Lovely hotel, very central and cost reflects this. Did pre check in but still had to queue for room cards on arrival.

The hotel itself was fantastic, the decor was lovely and the rooms were clean. The location was walking distance to all local sights and minutes from the train station which was handy! Unfortunately, the spa/pool facilities were out of order during our stay which I was gutted about, although they did offer alternatives at the sister hotel but this wasn’t convenient for us.
