"Great for young children, lots to do within the resort, breakfast was nice with lots of choice. Room was clean, but the hotel on a whole needing a bit of upgrading and decorating. Would recommend though and would return."

"Wonderful hotel near Balmoral with comfortable rooms and staff definitely represented the classic highland hospitality! Great welcome and restaurant on grounds with cozy lobby area near a roaring fireplace. Staff gave great recommendations of the area. Will definitely stay again!"

"Clean Room, but really loud noise when the people in the room above walked about really creaky floorboards , enjoyable stay but I dont think this is a Four star hotel as rated, bathroom door was in need of repair we stayed in room 159 Double de luxe, staff were very helpful"

"Fantastic pool and great staff "

"Very nice one-night stay. Lovely building and grounds. A bit too cold to enjoy the outdoors, but the gardens and general outdoor areas are very nice indeed.

Lovely staff, very welcoming. "

The only other problem was the room was on top floor which was not easy for my husband at 77 with a heart condition, apart from that we had a good stay "

"Great place to stay with kids. Pools were excellent, kids are having so much fun. Hotel location is very convenient."

Our stay was okay but given that it was by far our most expensive stay of our Scotland trip, I can’t say I’d recommend it. P "
