It is a lovely place. The grounds, gym and spa are excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice. We had a ground floor room. We had to go upstairs to the first floor, along the corridor, down the stairs and along the corridor. This was a bit of a pain. Overall though it was a good stay.

Not what you might think, living off a name

From the outset, we had issues with the hotel. They advertised this hotel using photos of the spa (including the outdoor pool etc), but this is not included in the £260 B&B rate for a King View Estate room. When we called to clarify, we were told nothing could be done—even after an assistant manager admitted it was misleading and a case of misrepresentation. Their solution? Offer us spa access at a “discounted” rate of £14—which is actually more than one of the available packages. They claimed the included food in the package makes up the value. So, for both of us, it would cost an extra £198 for just four hours of spa use. The manager even said, “I don’t see why they couldn’t just let you use it to be honest, but it’s not my decision—the other team said no.” When I asked who specifically refused, the response was vague. Suspicious. Then came our dinner. We were hesitant after the spa situation, but gave it a chance. We ordered, waited over 30 minutes, and were finally served—but with the wrong meals. At first, we didn’t realise because the dishes looked so similar. After starting to eat, my partner realised we had been given each other’s food. By that time, half was gone. We didn’t want to wait another 30+ minutes, so while they deducted the charge, one of us was left hungry. It doesn’t feel friendly here—it’s clearly aimed at wealthy guests.

We have been before but not for a long time Ii was my wife’s 60th birthday while we was there so it was a special occasion. The room we were in which was room number 121 was perfect a beautiful room on the front with amazing views from the front of the hotel across the Gardens at the front and the golf course and the beautiful mountains beyond. The only thing we was aware of was for a while when we was in our room a bit of banging and drilling from up above us from the upgrades and alterations and refurbishment which was going on. It was a little noisy and annoying to be honest but there were signs around asking during this time could we be patient and just bare with the noise. We had a treatment each in the new spar which looked amazing and the treatments were amazing too. But we were a little disappointed that although we was having treatments we had to pay extra if we wanted to use the extra facilities of the spar and at £119 extra each we thought that was a little expensive. But other than that we really enjoyed our stay

Came with my husband and 2 children 4&5) and my inlaws. Husband and father inlaw played golf...they had a fantastic time. Mother in law and i took the children swimming and went to the park. Lots to do wven though the children were too young for the big activities. We couldn't eat at the main restaurant in the evening as there was no space for the 6 of us which was disappointing. I think guests at the hotel should have some sort of priority to dine first. We went to a local pub for our evening meal instead. It was lovely but not ideal. Would have rather stayed on site. Breakfast was delicious. Room was great.

Driving up to this hotel it definitely had the wow factor. Reception staff were very polite and welcoming, and provided a very high level of customer service. The room itself was beautiful very large, clean and the bed was so comfortable. Evening meal was beautiful and so was breakfast. The only downfall is that this was a short overnight stay. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning
