Has the potential to be a really nice site, with great facilities, however is very dated and in need of refurbishment e.g. gardens over grown, furniture surfaces lifting and peeling, ill fitting covers on dinning area seats.

Clean but basic accommodation. Surprised that there was extra charge £5 for using pool or gym. Pleasant hard working staff. Food average except for being served a burnt slice of toast under the garlic mushrooms - Shame on the chef!

Asked about gym hours and access at time of check in, I was told it closes at 8:30pm and I would only have to check in with the gym receptionist. I go to the gym at 7:20pm and am informed that I have to pay an additional fee to use the gym facilities. I ask if they can charge my room and I am told I have to pay before use. I trek to my room, get my card, and trek back only to find they have difficulties with the card machine. It would've been convenient if at time of check in when I had my wallet and specifically requested gym information, that I pay at that time or charge my room so I pay at check out.

The waterside is great, it is very dated but the price reflects that. There’s nothing else around this part of Scotland that gives you this level of value for money. I wouldn’t go there expecting the world but it’s clean, has a nice restreraunt, a so with sauna, jacuzzi, pool and steam room and the staff are very attentive. I love the place and will be going back next weekend.

If you want to feel like an inconvenience,,,,,

Food was nice, but the service, particularly on a morning made you feel like you were personally the reason they had to get out of bed. No organisation for seating you for breakfast, I was sat at Three tables at one point, before being served. Not to mention the big sigh I was greeted with when asking for a table for three. The place is aged, and not in a good way. Bar staff keep vanishing. It was a very hot week and the room was baking, no air con and a sign beside your window saying not to leave it open as the swallows might get in! Really not a good place to stay. It’s obvious why the other places get snapped up early.
