Amazing overnight stay. Great facilities. The staff were super friendly. Pity we didn't get the names of some staff as they definitely deserved special recognition. The spa treatments were lush! We will be back!

What a hotel. After a long motorcycle ride up from the northwest this was well worth the effort. A change to have a swim and use the spa facilities that the hotel has to offer before what I can only describe as one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Very informative and helpful staff serving the table's and indeed the whole hotel. I WILL BE BACK ( hopefully ).

What a lovely hotel. We were there for a look around as we have a family wedding in the future and so were able to see some of the suites and function rooms as well as try the Orangery. The rooms are stunning, the whole place is very sharp, well maintained and modern looking. The restaurant was very nice, great meal and top rare service. Will try to visit again before the big day.

Attended a lovely wedding yesterday. What a day. I felt compelled to thank the staff for the wonderful service. They had gone out of their way to accommodate my dietary needs. Nothing was too much bother. It was a lovely venue. I can't recommend it too highly.

This hotel is great, but the some of the rooms are a little dated. The lift in the second building was very slow. We had breakfast here which was great. The leisure facilities were great. The surrounding grounds are beautiful, perfect for a function or wedding. The view of the Isle of Arran was amazing, so maybe could be pushed as a further selling point. The hotel is easy to find, not to far from the train station or local shops. I would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel.

A nice overnight night stay. We've stayed here a few times and seen how it has grown. Plenty of well trained staff too particularly would like to mention the lady in charge of the orangery in the afternoon and also at breakfast. My husband has mobility issues so she ensured our table at breakfast was near the buffet. And so friendly and chatty. Once complaint. Our meal was delicious but had to send the first plates back as the potatoes were luke warm. Why can't chefs just give us hot food. However it was dealt with very well and didn't spoil our evening. We hope to return again very soon.
