The breakfast selection was very good. Service staff were very helpful, and the food was tasty. The location is perfect for visiting Dumfries House.
The room was smaller than expected. It only had one desk chair.

Adequate Stay

clean room adequate breakfast expensive wine uncomfortable bed
The entrance foyer was beautiful, with a grand function room with a bar. The staff were friendly. Plenty of plug sockets were located in the clean room. The breakfast was adequate.
The main course at dinner fell short, the chicken was overcooked. The wine was also expensive, at £8-95 for a 250 ml glass. The room was cold during the night. The beds were uncomfortable. This led to broken sleep.
