Garvock House Hotel

Exceptional

4 star hotel. A 5...

Liked: Where do I start, the property is amazing and very well kept by the friendly staff. When you initially look at an old building, you expect older looking rooms but this wasn’t the case, all rooms have been renovated and certainly a five star look and feel. The gardens are epic! It had a feel of being in a scene of sense and sensibility period tv piece when you strolled around with a glass of champagne from the wedding. I’ll just finish this by, the staff are exceptional. It is lost on a lot of hotels sadly that a simple good morning or a smile actually goes a million miles with guest and the garvock staff did this in abundance. Very happy with that. Overall this was a brilliant stay.
Disliked: If I had one thing to change and speaking around other guests who’ve come from across the world. Whiskey selection at the bar. There is a ok selection of single malt on sale, 5-6 different bottles if I remember however for a Scottish hotel who attracts international guests, I think a trick is missed here and a chance to take money in at the bar from people who are willing to be spending little more money than usual when at weddings and staying the weekend. Compared to other venues in Scotland who will have a minimum of 25+ selections. This by no means spoiled the stay, I’ll just highlight that. Just an extra earning avenue for a fantastic hotel to look at.

Lovely and relaxing oasis in...

Liked: Plenty parking, well kept garden, comfortable furniture and friendly bar staff. Large comfortable room. Very comfortable beds. Opening window a life saver on the hot day. Cooked breakfast was lovely.
Disliked: Water pressure in shower a bit disappointing. Would have preferred freshly squeezed orange juice rather than from a carton with breakfast. Buffet selection needs attention.

Superb

Wonderful staff, gardens, historic building...

Liked: From the moment of arriving at the hotel, we were impressed. The grounds and hotel were beautiful. The building is quirky with lots of lovely rooms and space to relax. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had booked dinner and it was absolutely fabulous. Our rooms were large and spacious and everything was spotless. I was concerned that this hotel hosted weddings and that we’d be disturbed by noisy guests; we had requested quiet rooms and that is exactly what we got. The choice for breakfast was excellent and we were spoilt for choice and quality. I highly recommend Garvock House Hotel and will definitely stay here again.
