We enjoyed a five-day break at this hotel with our extended family. The staff were wonderful, very accomodating, the location is absolutely spectacular and the food is good. We were a very mixed party in terms of age - ranging from two-years old to 85 - and the hotel had something to offer everyone. Our older relatives enjoyed relaxing the... More

This is a wonderful Hotel which stands in the middle of a large estate with deer to be seen around the hotel and only Red Squirels are allowed as residents. The rooms are very large and comfortabley furnished. The 18 hole golf course for the exclusive use by residents is in great order. The highlight of the stay was the... More

In my view this hotel is one up from a Nursing Home, the rooms we stayed in were tired, furninhings were worn and in some cases damaged, rather reminded me of enetering an aged Aunts home, with a rocking chair and an old style wollen blankets on the bed. The restauant food and service were reasonable but did not warrant... More

Booked this hotel after reading about it on Tripadvisor. Went with the majority of the reviews and was not dissapointed. Everybody was so helpful, from Kelly in reception who recommended our room right up to the manager who remembered our names, not forgetting one of the waiters who recalled how my wife liked her coffee. Stayed in room 71 which... More

This hotel stands gloriously in its own grounds surrounded by a remarkably good golf course, dense woods and well regarded gardens. The original house boasts the best bedrooms, as nice as are available anywhere, perfect for couples desiring a few days away from it all, perhaps looking forward to exploring Dumfries and Galloway's fascinating environment. However, the rooms in the... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay. The views from the hotel over its golf course and the lake are stunning. We found all the staff very helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was traditionally decorated but it was in keeping with the age and theme of the hotel. It was kept spotlessly... More

This is our 2nd visit this year, this time with my Inlaws. I agree with other comments that the rooms are more a kin to a old peoples retirement home.Dated and needing a HUGE update. Our room in the Forrest wing again which was ideal to get out to the car for the dogs that we had with us this... More

Arrived to quite impressive grounds and hotel entrance. Staff were welcoming and helpful. However, we were shown to our "deluxe" room which was large but extremely dated and resembled a nursing home. The room smelt musty and damp. The bathroom was also dated and damp smelling. I regret that we did not complain as we arrived just in time to... More

My partner and I visited on Valentine's Day for dinner. The food and wine were delicious... Not to mention the romantic atmosphere due to the traditional decor, soft lighting, the fabulous pianist. Staff were friendly and attentive and the picturesque countryside in which the hotel is set made it a definite place to return to. More
