    Too many stairs but there's not much can be done about the building.

    The food was fabulously good. Both dinner and breakfast were of very good quality, full of flavour and a joy to eat

    Had booked two rooms for two nights and booked separately. Messaged before we went and asked if we could have the same room for both nights. Hotel said yes no problem. However when we got there we had to swap rooms for our second night. The receptionist on did everything she could to rectify this however we had to pack up and move which wasn’t ideal as was there for a wedding.

    Beautiful property, staff really accommodating, lovely food.

    The breakfast buffet was a bit basic. The cooked breakfast was ok but nothing special. No tattie scone or Haggis means it wasn’t a Full Scottish in my opinion. The tea was weak and when I asked for a filter coffee I was told it was instant or I could pay extra for an americano which was a bit petty. The toaster was hopeless, barely warmed the bread.

    The room was pleasant and the bathroom clean! Personally I would have invested a bit more in the mattress and less in the fixtures and fittings. The TV was quite small given how far away from the bed it is.

    No lift to top floor. Some of the meals. For example I had a basically lovely fish meal but it was swimming in too much sweet?chilli sauce.

    Lovely staff Good value. Good location especially for Dumfries House.

    Room we were allocated was branded as “Deluxe” by Booking.com. It was not. Decor needed upgrading and it was drab and dark. Overpriced. Dinner in dining room was good value but the room was noisy. Service was good but staff very busy. Breakfast did not live up to expectations . Nothing like as good as in other hotels we have experienced as Booking. com customers for lower price at home and abroad.

    Location good for the family wedding we were attending at Dumfries House

    Bed was a little hard for me but that's personal preference. A luggage stand for suitcase would have been helpful but otherwise room and ensuite were great. Would recommend.

    Lovely hotel. Very clean and well appointed. Very friendly, attentive and courteous staff. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Able to provide alternative milks which was great.
