Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms of a very high standard featuring an extra-large comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom, creating a quiet and spacious atmosphere with a high decor standard. However, the dining could be improved with better options, such as a wider fruit selection and preventing oat shortages for porridge. The service was rated positively for friendliness, although there were instances of rudeness and billing issues. Overall, a luxurious stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very nice, separate from the main hotel with beautiful country views, but some were of poor quality. The service, especially from the staff working in the bar, was outstanding and very friendly, although there were private chats ahead of caring for clients. The location offered superb views over the hills of Perth-shire and was within a short drive from the center of Perth, maintaining a beautifully furnished family home ambiance. However, some rooms had less desirable views, and some parts were a little dated. The dining options were mixed, with some good choices but also a traditional at-table service replaced by a breakfast buffet. Fresh salmon stood out positively.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, unfortunately, did not have the bathtub I requested, leading to a long wait before relocation. The air conditioning also needed some attention. On the bright side, the location offered fantastic nature walks and was close to everything, making it a special stay. The service was excellent, with attentive staff meeting our needs throughout. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have been improved with a later cafe opening time. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with the exception of not being serviced after the first night. The service was friendly and helpful, although somewhat slow at times. The location was peaceful with beautiful grounds and fantastic nature walks. The dining experience was average with some issues for gluten-free guests. The hotel facilities were decent.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful, with large, comfortable rooms offering stunning views of the fields. The honeymoon suite was particularly exquisite. The rooms were of good standard and clean, though some areas could use better maintenance. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff who truly are an asset to the hotel. The location was perfect for a relaxing retreat, offering excellent views of the hills. The dining experience was good but could have been improved in terms of temperature and catering to specific dietary requirements. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor areas for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were excellently clean and tidy, a good size, and decorated with Laura Ashley fabrics, creating a homely and peaceful atmosphere. However, being located on the main corridor to the golf club bar brought a lot of traffic noise. The service was a bit of a mixed bag; the staff, particularly the waitress, were very attentive and courteous, but there were moments of staff arguments that were uncomfortable to witness. The location overlooking the grounds was truly enjoyable, perfect for a quiet getaway, although the actual height of the place felt slightly different from what was expected based on images on the website. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of plates to choose from, but it was a bit pricey if you wanted a lighter meal, and the dining area seemed understaffed towards closing time. The facilities were good overall.
