This place is elegant, vintage, and well-maintained. The hotel staff was excellent. The vibe of the hotel is quite relaxing also. I spent an hour or so in the lounge reading and enjoying some whiskey. I would recommend this place to ANYONE traveling in this area.

The building itself is very impressive and warm. High ceilings, dark woods and stag heads adorn this typical MacDonald hotel. |The staff are mostly lovely and helpful, if not a little slow on service. …

This hotel, situated on a beautiful estate, has old world charm with an interior lined with mahogany walls & ceilings on the ground floor. Feels luxurious inside and the staff members are some of the most professional I've experienced in many years. They treat you like you've been there plenty of times. They're as helpful as they can be even when multiple events are going on at the hotel. Their restaurant is also first class service.

Stayed for a night in a really good quality room. We were hoping to have the haunted room, but it appeared to be in a different area, the old wing.The reason we chose this hotel for our holiday so of, was they allowed dogs. This is only certain areas, but they are allowed to stay in certain rooms, and they provided a doggy bag of gifts and a blanket to borrow for the stay.A beautiful property in stunning grounds, with a lovely, cosy old interior, which makes you feel like you're stepping back in time.The bar is lovely and old, with a cosy range of sofas and seating where you can relax and enjoy the range of drinks and excellent service. We tried a few Whisky's from the drinks menu, which were listed in different categories with descriptions of the flavours and where they were from.Plenty of parking near to the hotel.
