A beautiful hotel in a lovely location, adjacent to the racecourse. Staff were friendly and helpful. The Scottish Breakfast was wonderfully cooked and beautifully presented. My only ‘complaint’ (if that’s what it is!) is that the portion presented to me may have been over generous! A wonderful experience.
