“The dining here is genuinely impressive, a real highlight that stands out even in Scotland's competitive culinary landscape. Rooms, particularly in the newer section, offer comfort and surprising spaciousness, though navigating the lighting in some can be a thoughtful challenge. It's a place that makes you feel looked after, right up to the moment you leave.”
