The hotel offers stunning views from the spacious and comfortable rooms, but a strange creepy door to a random corridor in our room was a downside. The service was superb with very professional staff who went above and beyond to assist us. The location is impressive, close enough to Edinburgh and boasting spectacular accommodation, though lacking in easy access to public transportation. The dining experience was wonderful with a varied menu for both dinner and breakfast. Overall, a great value for money stay with amazing facilities.
