This hotel was in a beautiful location. The staff were friendly and check in was a breeze! I loved the warm chocolate chip cookies we were given upon arrival. The hotel has a lot of halls with short stairs that make hauling suitcases a pain, but it’s an old building so to be expected. We loved the coffee shop in Dunblane…Beech Tree I think was the name. Great location close to Stirling castle and other attractions.

Friendly and fabulous.

The staff at this hotel could not have been anymore helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. They are very dog friendly and although not allowed in the restaurant which I fully agree with we could take our dog in the lounges. The pool and sauna/steam room were great and very well maintained. We would definitely return here when we are visiting this area again. Great breakfast too!
