We recently stayed at the Ardoe House Hotel. The building and property are beautiful from the outside. Our room was just okay but definitely needed attention. The curtains were partly off of the hooks and dangling. The shower had a little bit of mold around the edges. The real problem is the majority of the staff. I'd label most of them as snobby. The bar was incredibly slow and when we asked for a coffee we were told by the bartender that he didn't know how to make coffee. I really wanted to like this place and i did like the grounds. The hotel itself needs help.

We have been to this hotel on many occasions as we always enjoy our stay at the ardour hotel , on this occasion we sadly had to make a complaint about the room as the housekeeping was below he usual standard the carpet was very dusty along the edges and behind the furniture and what looked like talc on the bathroom floor. Overall we still enjoyed our stay, bed comfy and breakfast good, would still go back

The staff make or break the customer experience. When we arrived at check in there was no welcome atmosphere. We felt like an inconvenience. Very abrupt staff, vague answers to our questions. Don’t care attitude. Disappointed because this charming hotel lacks the customer service and welcome you’d expect.

Nice room, comfortable bed, good breakfast, dinner at Blair's restaurant was good. The bed looked like it had been made by a 10 year old and the room was very hot of a night. The corridor was a lot cooler than our room. A fan would have helped. We were disappointed with our stay as it wasn't up to expectations.

In need of upgrade work and cleaning

Room 147 was a long walk from reception up stairs then downstairs at the other end. Smelly damp corridor and windows were opened to mask the smell we suspect. Newly renovated room not great as torn section of wallpaper missing, black and yellow mold on shower tiles and around tray. Tv didn't work well, just a couple of channels working. Did mention tiles on leaving. Breakfast was ok, standard.

The only criticisms/ suggestions i could make were, there were cobwebs in the room by the desk lamp. Also room service after 9pm would have been very welcome. Having said that, the food was great and the bartender on Thursday 3rd was brilliant.
