6/10 Good

Scottish gothic meets Fawlty towers. Carpets were worn, bed like marshmallow, bath big enough for toddlers. Food was ok but not brilliant. Staff were entertaining. Dark wood panelling, windows that needed a good clean. But the bones were good and I could feel the ghost of Rabbie walking the grounds

Quiet, traditional country hotel. Beautiful location, very helpful staff and a lovely stretch of river. Only thing that stopped me rating it as excellent was the slightly limited dinner menu- somewhat limited. Pay a little bit more for the deluxe rooms- well worth it.
