The breakfast was the best I have ever eaten. I have eaten many breakfasts, some of them in hotels much swankier and more expensive than this. This blew them all out of the park. From the home made granola with stiff organic yoghurt to the freshly baked bread with home made jam and the best marmalade I've tasted to the delicious full Scottish with unbelievably creamy scrambled eggs, I cannot praise this breakfast enough. I'm very sad that I was not able to finish it, just due to the generous quantities, as that meant I needed to stop eating it. There were lots of other good things too. There were yummy home baked biscuits in the room, and also a map of a walk you could do right from the hotel (which we did, and it was a good walk). The staff were friendly and attentive without being annoyingly persistent, which is a hard balance to strike. The hotel itself is beautiful, and there's a lovely lounge with squishy sofas to sit on. Our room was comfy and cosy. Dinner was also delicious. It was just great. Go stay.

The beautiful original windows are not very warm, so if you're there in the winter, bring a jumper for sitting and eating your dinner in as the dining room can be a tad chilly

This is a beautifully managed hotel with a lovely cared for garden, excellent food, very comfortable bedroom, attractive bar, and very dog friendly (including an ambitious dog menu for breakfast if you dare!). There is a lovely country walk direct from the hotel and easy to follow on the directions given and, if you have time, many near by local walks described in the area. This was a lovely hotel, quite close to the M74 and ideal for our stop over driving from the western highlands to southern England and worth staying here more than one night..

no complaints

Lovely setting. Excellent service from the staff. Great attention to detail. The food was superb

Nothing

A beautiful country hotel. The service from Richard was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. If you are going on the basis of there being spa services I suggest to ring ahead before booking as very limited space for services and use of hot tub and sauna. We were unfortunately not able to make use as it was fully booked but we will definitely go back and plan ahead for spa services

We're unable to use spa services and no way to promptly check availability through Booking.com

Lovely setting. The gardens were fabulous. The hotel was beautifully decorated.Staff were great especially Dora who served us breakfast which was exceptional. Quiet & very peaceful. Lovely biscuits & plenty of coffee & tea options in the room. There is a hairdryer & toiletries provided.

Nothing apart from a fridge would have been useful in the room.

I choose this hotel for being dog friendly and for an overnight stopover on the way north to the Scottish highlands. Arriving in the yard behind the house, was a sink and hose designated for washing muddy paws, even offering to supply hot water and shampoo on request. The characterful house is set in a well maintained colourful garden, surrounded by fields and woodland. Everything about our stay was excellent - helpful, friendly staff, convivial bar, delicious food and fellow guests travelling with dogs( who appeared to far outweigh the other guests) and comfortable room (dog bowl filled with treats provided) The best - doggy breakfast menu - sausage, eggs etc - sums up our stay at this wonderful hotel. Ps - the owners were just as well cared for.

The hotel was excellent. All the staff were very friendly. The hostess was particularly welcoming and made us feel like family rather than paying guests. The food was excellent. The cooked breakfast was one of the best we have had. You could taste the quality and freshness. We paid extra to use the hot tub and sauna. It was a very good and can recommend. Overall a great few days away.

This was the perfect stop on the way to Glasgow. The Hotel was really lovely and the grounds were fantastic. A lot to see and do (if you don't go in winter like we did!). Great massage on site. The food was really good and all the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The rooms were perfect and just like the pictures on booking.com. Would stay here again. Easy parking.

The food was amazing, staff, clean, warm

The misleading spa facilities. As we were led to believe through booking.com with the spa icon on the room details it appeared that the spa feature was included later to find out on arrival that it was bookable and an extra charge. It was mentioned in the welcome pack but no advance warning. This is more a booking.com issue and not the hotel.

Well looked after by Dora, Richard and Adam. Great walks from the hotel. Food was excellent. Great walks and views. Can walk into Thornhill. Comfy beds and did not smell of dogs at all.

Shame we could not get use of the SPA Facilities . You really should enquire about booking them before you book to stay if that is what you want the break to be.
