Hogmany trip
Arrived early on new year's eve. Greeted at reception with a smile and a welcome glass of prosecco. Swiftly taken to our room by Mike who was very helpful by carrying our bags and giving handy advice for our evening ahead and told us to ring and ask for him if we needed anything for the room. The room had everything we needed, spacious with a partial vue of Arthur's seat. Had a swim and sauna downstairs in the spa. The gym looked well equiped from what we could see. The hotel provided some lovely hot traditional Scottish food (Stovies) on our return after the celebrations, which was very much needed. We had a lovely chat with one of the supervisors in the bar on new years day, who was so nice and made some delicious cocktails. Breakfast buffet was delicious. Hotel is in a great position. About 15 minutes walk to the castle. We parked at the NCP just a little up the road, though dynamic earth would be handy as nearer. All the staff were very friendly and we would stay again,

A wet December trip
A wet December, the staff were all friendly, professional and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Bed and bedding were exceptional - so comfortable. The room was spotlessly clean. Staff in the spa were also professional, friendly and efficient - really positive experience. Buffet breakfast meant the mushrooms, scrambled egg etc were underwhelming, sitting too long. Freshly cooked poached eggs were superb. Some of the fittings, walls, woodwork are showing some wear and tear.
