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 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.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The room was spacious, overlooking the river, and dog friendly, offering stunning views.
