We stayed for one night and found it one of the nicest and most relaxing hotels we have stayed at in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were waited on hand and foot by wonderful, friendly staff. They all seemed to really enjoy their roles.
We had a large double room (Connery), which was incredibly spacious and almost felt like a mini suite. It was exceptionally clean and well presented. Lots of lovely little details, like a good range of reading materials, complimentary show cleaning service, brolly should you want a walk in inclement weather...it was spotlessly clean and the bathroom had an excellent shower and big bath. Evening turn down service was a nice touch. Other nice touches were that the hotel could organise and pack picnics for you, there were rods available if you fancied fishing on the trout pond...
We had booked into Chez Roux and did really enjoy the food, and the waiting staff were extremely attentive. The menu was good and the canapes served in the bar before hand were really delicious. The only problem with the restaurant was that it lacked ambience. It is a very modern and stark addition to the old building, and with the kitchen incorporated into the dining room, it did feel a bit like a work canteen.
The over areas of the hotel are fabulous, with so many places to choose from to sit down and relax. One thing which would be nice would be some books or magazines in the public areas. There is also a gorgeous whisky tasting room...felt about minus 2 in there, so possibly best to enjoy in summer.
We chose to have breakfast in our room, which was delicious. Much nicer to relax with the morning paper, news and a lovely view over the grounds. Even without a suite there was ample space to sit and eat.
All in all we loved it and would love to go back for a tranquil break.
