From check in right through to check out the staff were excellent. Fonbas Suite was lovely and comfortable with views to dream of. Sitting room upstairs was very well stocked for coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Milk and bottled water also supplied. Bedroom was very comfortable and a good size. Breakfast was buffet style but had a plentiful supply of hot foods. Bar was busy and entertainment on the friday night. The hotel has had a lot of cosmetic decor changes too. As always we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A place to relax and enoy yorself in lovely surroundings. The gardens are beautifully maintained.

We had a lovely one night stay here in a 'Classic' room. It was on the lower ground floor and along several corridors to access it but the directions and signage were excellent and the room had been renovated to a high standard. We used the swimming pool and jacuzzi - lovely surroundings, a little odd to have to wear disposable 'sockettes' over our shoes to enter the area and a little slippery underfoot but otherwise enjoyable. We had dinner in the bar at a window table overlooking the front view which was lovely. The service was excellent although became a bit slow as the bar filled up with only 1 staff member on duty. He did his best and a 2nd pair of hands eventually arrived to help out. Our meals were excellent. We enjoyed a stroll through the delightful landscaped grounds after dinner. The included buffet breakfast the next morning was in the restaurant overlooking the Tummel Valley where we were lucky to be given a window table (you pay extra to have dinner in this restaurant, we were glad we hadn't). The service we experienced throughout was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our splurge staying here.
