My luxury room had a complimentary bottle of champagne. It also included truffles, fruit, and cookies upon my arrival. I found the option to stream viewing to the tv from my phone to be a real plus.
the service felt a LITTLE slow, especially when trying to get my tea order in before leaving.

The Scottish breakfast was acceptable (the bacon was crispy).
I was disappointed by the slow service during afternoon tea. I never received my tea before we departed even after ordering it about 30 minutes prior. I also noticed a cracked teacup, and the table felt overcrowded with dishes not long after we finished with them.

A Good Stay

amazing foodcomfortable suitedelicious breakfast
Our wedding dinner and overnight stay were wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and is still a topic of conversation. We stayed in the Franklin Suite. It was comfortable. Breakfast the following morning was served in our room. It was as delicious as the meal. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
There was a slight delay when ordering drinks in the reception area. I was offered a coffee, but it took 20 minutes to arrive (I almost made my own!).
