We love the Fairmont. It is our favourite hotel in Scotland however the standard of the breakfast available has reduced over the last few years. It is still a lovely spread but when you set the bar high and it then drops you know it can be better. Simply put the fruit on offer at a 5 star hotel for breakfast is not good enough. No berries, kiwi or other fresh fruit that is normally available at other hotels of similar standard. Only melon and orange and apple slices available this morning

The shower in the men’s spa area was so full of mold, and it was very dirty. Our bathroom in our room had a tile that was completely lifted probably because of water getting in the massage that my husband had he had mentioned to the service provider numerous times that he did not want anything but his back and shoulder massaged and she did what she wanted to do and didn’t listen to him so thank God we had 20% off the service. The food was great. The people you have working in your bar area are young and inexperienced and you could tell they weren’t very accommodating and somewhat dismissive but everything else was great.

Had to request housekeeping twice, once at 4.20pm, then again at 5.50pm as rooom hadn’t been serviced, also had to request more tea/coffee items as this hadn’t been replenished either. As this was October week the hotel was very busy and we couldn’t get a table for bar service, although the hotel did suggest making reservations at the time of booking , we just didn’t know it was October week.
