Sadly, this property needs a complete renovation especially the room we were given 111 !! Firstly a very uncomfortable sprung mattress which was moving everytime I turned so one hours sleep in total!, secondly creaking floorboards in the floor above as well as ours and in the corridor where people were banging doors into the small hours!! Finally at 6.30 am I had to wake my husband as the filthy head board was severely tipping towards our heads.. a tragedy waiting to happen…. The utter disgrace was the mess behind the headboard of years of congealed dust!! Scottish hospitality at its worst!! It could be a fabulous place if someone just stepped it up a gear Definitely NOT 4* not even 2 !! Breakfast was really lacklustre with soggy toast, not freshly baked pastries as advertised The manager Gwen wanted to refund our stay saying it was all totally unacceptable but couldn’t as I had booked through Expedia. Expedia please help with this!!

Hotel was lovely but unfortunately nothing like the pictures on their web site the pool area is really dated chose this hotel for the spa facilities and there was no hot tub in use which was disappointing due to the money spent. Had to change room after first night of lack of sleep due to the bed spent the night in the middle as couldn’t get out of it. Would not come back in a hurry

Lovely setting, comfortable room. The property lacked the polish and refinement we’d (naively?) expected. Inexperienced/poorly trained staff (at check in and checkout, the staff members announced their newness and lack of familiarity with the hotel systems. Desk attendants sitting and having personal conversations as we came and want throughout our stay, not acknowledging us, saying hello, or asking if we were enjoying our stay). No assistance with luggage offered. The Green Lady was a rather sad place. A good room with large windows overlooking the grounds, but a very stale energy at night and during the day. Inexperienced waitstaff. Lackluster food. Zero cocktail game (limited/run of the mill liquor and mixer options, and no cocktail making expertise. Stick to whisky/beer/wine). Would not stay here again.
