Nice property. The day of our checkout we had to leave the place quite early so we asked to get breakfast before 8.30AM. No chance. Breakfast opens at 8.30 and not one minute before. No exceptions.

Had a great night stay in this old-looking building. The deco inside the building is very Scottish. The room came with 2 sparkling water and chocolate snack. One minus point is the clothes hanging place is small, there’s no cupboard. The location is 15min drive to Stirling Castle.

Staff are wonderful - very helpful and friendly. Room 3, as a deluxe double, was very dark and small, especially the distance between toilet and shower unit which would not make sitting down possible for anyone above average height! The dinner was excellent. Breakfast was good but 8.30 is a very late start. Disappointing that porridge with fruit involved a teaspoonful of defrosted fruit at the height of Scottish berry season.

Pros and cons: Pros. The staff were lovely, rooms clean and the food pretty good. Cons. Rock hard pillows, none of us got a good night's sleep because of them. Appalling bad water pressure to the shower. And I'd just rubbed shampoo into my hair and it went from stone cold to very, very hot several times before it finally settled warm enough for long enough for me to wash the shampoo out. Because of these 2 things none of us want to go there again.
