Choosing this hotel was the best decision I made when booking my family vacation in Scotland. The property is stunning, spacious and beautifully decorated. The pool area is perfect. The staff so accommodating and the shuttle go and from town works perfectly. We did not golf but if we did the stay there seems that it would be even better. An overall 10!!!!

Oh yes. This is 5 star done right.
From driving up to driving away this was everything you could expect. The team on the front desk was a young English man and a young Ugandan woman. Both were impeccable in presentation and communication with an ability to let me feel comfortable.
