Staff were all incredible - friendly and helpful! Hotel itself is very dated though and made room seem like it needed a good clean!! and therefore not good value for money in my opinion! Breakfast wasn’t great either with all stations again seeming untidy.

Staff were outstanding from the receptionist to the restaurant staff. Property needs a bit of modernisation. No USB points in our room. TV does not provide smart apps or casting. Swimming pool was good but it takes last entrance at 19:15. As one of the main features I would have thought it would be open later. Also in the morning opens at 8. Not much use for early swimmers and at that time the flume was not in operation. Summary, staff are amazing, management needs to consider facilities

As a disabled first the access to rooms etc was very tight! Could not fit scooter in lift for dining / breakfast so had to have breakfast in the bar! Husband had to run up and down stairs getting my breakfast first and then his own. By time he returned I had finished.

We stayed in room number 2332 for 5 nights. The service was pathetic. Out of 5 nights only once our room was cleaned . The toilets were not cleaned as part of the room service . After exploring our drives at the highlands we always came back to a dirty room . I would never advise anybody to stay in this property. There are limited dining options in and around the property.

OK for short stay if you get what you're expecting
After a shaky start, my son and I had a great 1 night stay. The room was not as described on the app when booking, as the Family Room "king size bed and double sofa bed" turned out to be a king size bed and kids single foldout bed. After discussing this with reception, we were moved to a twin room which suited our needs. Either Hotels.com or the hotel need to correct the description of the Family Room facilities. The rest of the hotel and facilities were OK, but looking a bit tired and needing upgrading in some areas, our bathroom handle was loose and kept falling off.
