Perfect for a one night...

Liked: We loved the location and the rooms were fine enough and lovely views but they were not clean. I have never had to complain about this hotel before as I stay there every year.
Disliked: The bedrooms seemed dirty and the water was cold so no hot bath. The food is average and the staff are average, some of course better than others.

Fantastic property but disappointing stay.

Liked: The location, grounds and building were exceptional. Breakfast was well cooked is small.
Disliked: Very tired and dated interiors, and service was along the same lines although the staff were very friendly.

Passable

Liked: The view was beautiful and both managers were lovely.
Disliked: The rooms were very dirty a lot of dog hair everywhere even after cleaning. My husband had an allergic reaction. Maybe we should be warned beforehand or have different rooms for pets and no pets.

Beautiful view but...

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff. Excellent location, Aira Falls worth a visit.
Disliked: The exterior of the hotel is shabby and dilapidated, not a good impression. The photos make it look like a stately home...it may have been once, it has a very grand history. The rooms are beautiful but not thouroughly cleaned, dust and grime etc in the bathroom. This not a complaint against the staff, we could see they work extremely hard, just not enough of them. The restaurant is delightful but expensive, puddings £16.50!I would usually say, well you get what you paid for, but in this case we paid an awful lot for the beautiful view.

Superb

Liked: Very picturesque. Beautiful location. All members of staff were very helpful and friendly.
Disliked: Bit warm in the room/bathroom as the radiator seemed to be on permanently.
