Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers lovely and spacious rooms with nice amenities like tea/coffee and an iron. The 'Booby' room, #24, stood out as exceptional and seemed popular among both locals and travelers. The service was top-notch, with staff always ready to assist and make the stay enjoyable. The location is excellent for those seeking a getaway with access to activities, overlooking a stunning golf course. The dining experience had its ups and downs but overall satisfactory. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with delightful dining but suffers from noise issues in the rooms. The food is to die for, both dinner and breakfast, but the squeaky floorboards from the room above can be quite a nuisance. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfy overall.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the huge and fully equipped rooms that felt like a step back in time with their antique furnishings. The four-poster bed was a charming touch, but the noise level could be bothersome late at night. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff looking after every need, even accommodating wheelchair accessibility. The location in the quaint Scottish village of Edzel was enchanting, offering a perfect retreat with access to various activities. The dining experience, while tasty, was marred by artificial decorations, and the overall facilities were satisfactory.
