Room clean. Towels thick, white and fluffy. Staff really nice and food in the Kailyard restaurant was excellent. Only downside was there was a problem with the heating so we were cold for the first 24 hours, but small heaters everywhere and engineers dealt with it

Beautiful hotel, facilities were great with gym and indoor heated pool. Breakfast buffet was excellent with great variety of food. The only downside is the family room is quite small in size for 2 adults and 2 kids, we don't have enough space to put open our luggages comfortably and the bathroom sink also quite small we have no space to put our toileteries bags Other than that, we had a great stay!

Beautiful hotel, nice rooms and comfortable beds. Only downside is all the stairs you have to drag your luggage up. The lifts go to a floor but then there were multiple small staircases to get to our room.

Smashing Breakfast and Dinner, however. The room we were in was in need of updating. Our friends in another part of the hotel had a really nice room. The hotel has been sold to Apex Hotels and I believe they were about to take over this past week. So hopefully they’ll continue to make improvements to the rooms. My other gripe was about the price of a dash of Lemonade/Coke at the bar….. £2!!!
