Tayside Historic Hotel

"The hotel is very clean, this was our second time here. Staff are all lovely. The spa was amazing, a relaxing massage on a Saturday morning probably wasn’t our best idea as we were far too relaxed to do anything else haha. We arrived on the Friday and there was a uni ball on so lots of young people it was very noisy as they all had to show id. However it was funny people watching. Who knew mullets and moustaches were back. The function was for around 300 so had door staff in attendance. No trouble that we seen just a young boy enjoying himself got a little drunk but was in good form. The door staff put him out a few times. I felt sorry for him so made sure he was ok. (The mothering side came out haha) We booked a table for dinner and went for the sharing tomahawk steak night. We were really looking forward to this. Looked amazing but unfortunately there wasn’t any flavour to it at all. We were a bit disappointed, however I said to the waiter that it lacked flavour of any sort, even the sauces were disappointing. The waiter was very nice and professional. I didn’t complain to get anything off our bill it was more to let them know. I’m not one for complaining but it put us off eating in there on the Saturday.we went across the road to the Indian buffet place which I highly recommend we had to be rolled to our room we had far too much. The waiter spoke to the restaurant manger and they deducted a small amount from the bill which was very nice of them. We will be back"

"The cottages are very tired and in desperate need of renovation. Our toilet seat was cracked, tiles were cracked and paint chipped. Two of the blinds were broken, very run down!"

"Room was clean, comfortable bed, but building was in a poor condition with stains on bathroom ceiling and water damage round windows. Arrived late and there was no information in the room about breakfast times (or anything else). "

"Hotel was nice although room (chose a suite) wasn’t up to the standard I expected with a wooden slat broken on bathroom blinds and the blinds being unable to close. The wooden floors were scratched and the carpet didn’t look the cleanest. We were greeted at reception but not the warmest welcome. The guy spoke very little and didn’t seem overly happy in his workplace. The bar area was nice although very expensive! "

"Parking was easy. Breakfast was very nice."

"Wonderful castle on beautiful walkable grounds. Would definitely recommend it! "

"Nice hotel, lovely and clean. Beautiful sea view from our room. Staff very friendly. Plenty of parking. Noise - you can hear everything in the corridor. Doors banging closed was an issue for us, made me jump on many occasions. Apart from this one issue it was a lovely stay. "

"We had a junior suite overlooking the river which was nice enough, we thought the bathroom required an update. No towel heating rail, no underfloor heating so it was cold. Perhaps we were spoiled the year before as we stayed in The Hermitage suite which was superb, far preferred it however I expect more expensive. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed the swimming pool. The breakfast was excellent and the evening meal was good, however I think there could have been more choices in the main meals menu."
