The hotel radiated warmth throughout the property and even provided Tunnock's teacakes on the welcome tray in the well-appointed rooms. The service was outstanding with a personal touch, including a guided walk by the river from the polite and helpful staff. The breathtaking location with a mix of history and modern amenities made it a perfect stay. The dining experience was great, especially after a satisfying breakfast and convenient on-site parking.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had all the expected amenities but could do with an update, which was disappointing. The service was a bit hit or miss with some frustrating instances, despite having another great stay overall. The location was stunning, particularly on a beautiful autumn day, but there were some issues with noise in riverside bedrooms. The dining had everything you wanted but lacked a certain level of privacy. Overall, it was a peaceful stay with a lovely setting.

The service was a bit hit or miss. Despite having another great stay, there were frustrating instances that needed prompting. The staff didn't seem to care much and blamed the junior chef for failings.

The hotel is in a lovely property with some charming features but needs improvement in certain areas. The rooms are in need of upgrading, yet it was nice to have a bath and shower available. The service was a mix of forgetfulness but also genuine care from the staff. The location has potential but requires attention to details for a more positive first impression. The dining experience offered everything we needed, but there were some drawbacks. Overall, the hotel has its highs and lows, making it a decent choice with room for enhancement.

The main front door needs improvement for a more positive entry, but the high ceilings and historical ambiance add charm. The hotel is set within an ancient manor hall near a scenic golf course along the river.

I stayed in a room facing the river, and the views were absolutely lovely. The room was large and dog friendly, which was a great bonus. The only downside was that it had two single beds put together.

The service was excellent overall. The staff were all very friendly, but I felt sorry for the waitress who brought breakfast to our room as she had to carry an extremely heavy tray. Providing her with a trolley would have been more practical.
