10/10 Exceptional

A 2 night stay, part of a longer vacation. Tucked away in spacious grounds in a quiet area, yet still easily accessible with the A75 nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful on our smooth check in. The hotel itself was a grand old building set in spacious grounds, with its own golf course and plenty of woodland walks, and a 3 mile walk to the beach. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, well appointed and clean. We enjoyed an evening meal, the food and staff were very good. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. A good selection of fresh fruit and cereal and juices. But the buffet hot breakfast was a little disappointing. Some of it had obviously been out for a while and was cold. We are familiar with the area so it was a good base for exploring. There is good walking and cycling in the Galloway forest. Plenty of beaches to discover nearby. The area is also a Dark Park and on a clear night the starry sky is quite impressive. Overall we had a very good time and will return.

Really disappointed , not a 4 star establishment
Really disappointed by this hotel, while the grounds and scenery surrounding the hotel are really lovely, the inside of the hotel particularly, the forest wing where we were staying was extremely dated. There was rust and mould in the bathroom and the balcony really needed some TLC. While the bed and pillows were really comfortable the sound proofing was non existent , we could hear absolutely everything from the room above us, which spoiled our stay and woke us up. Unfortunately I would never stay here again

A fairly good hotel, but with some issues
The reception staff were nice and we checked in without any issues. When entering the room, we were greeted by mold removing spray and the room carpet looked dirty (both not great as we had a toddler with us). The room size was good and the laundry appeared to be clean. There were a few H&S issues on site including missing fire action notices, large gaps in the stairwell balustrades (well over 100mm) meaning a toddler or dog could fall through and potentially be harmed (no cautionary signage evident). The balcony railing was not secured fully and there was also no fire emergency egress plan in our room which is best practice (just a description provided). There appeared to be not enough emergency escape signage (white running man with green back ground pictogram). There were also some combustible materials found on escape routes. Most of the staff were pleasant, but one of the barmen was rude to my wife and a member of the reception team made another member of our party feel extremely embarrassed about their disability. Staff training around disability awareness and unconscious bias would be appropriate. The pool area appeared clean enough but appeared a bit tired and will require refurbishment soon.

Wonderful few days in a hidden-away gem of a hotel
Absolutely fantastic. Great service from friendly staff and a very comfortable couple of night's experience. The food served from a comprehensive choice of dishes was top-drawer and the bar had a good range of drinks and spirits. Only slight issue would be the fact that the hotel is not easy to find - even with a google map and route planner - as there are no signs for it, even from Gatehouse of Fleet, and is extremely well hidden down Cally Avenue which is a wooded avenue heading into the substantial forest estate. We didn't even see a sign for the golf course.

Dining experience spoiled visit
First impressions were great. Room was very large for us as a family with two bathrooms which were oldish but extremely clean. Beds were super large and very comfortable although bunk beds were a little creaky at night with child in them. Worst part of our visit was dining at night. We chose to dine in conservatory area as our dog could go too. Staff were very professional and pleasant but after ordering we had to ask if/ when our starters would be served and then there was a very long wait before we again asked if our main course was coming. Child’s nuggets were extremely overcooked when they were served! If staying again I would not eat in! Breakfast in the morning was much better.

Very nice hotel. Excellent location, if you are travelling from or to the Ferry at Cairnryan and need a (very) nice place, and very (very) quiet place to stay. Very serene. We only have two (minor) critiques from our most recent stay. The mattress in Room 74. It had a very hard/solid "perimeter" / "edging", and then sunk inward. So I think there's a new mattress needed. Also, for the scale of the room (it was very big, and very recently refurbished), the bed should be a Queen or King size. Last (minor) critique, the area around the sink just needed a little more cleaning and/or attention to detail. Again - minor critique. Great parking. Great view overlooking the front of the property. Very helpful front-desk staff, check-in staff, night porters, etc.

DISAPPOINTING
The hotel is set in a nice location and is only a short walk into the village. The pool area is nice. Rooms are comfortable but sound insulation is next to non existent. The guy in the room near us snored all night. Had he been in bed with us it could not have been much louder. The towels were thread bare. Breakfast has the usual fruit, yoghurt, corn flakes etc and is fine. The hot food is kept in metal containers heated by gas burners. They do not work well and the food is lukewarm. The bacon was limp and the sausages undercooked. Some items are cooked to order. My wife's porridge had uncooked oats floating on top. It had the consistency of a runny soup. It was inedible. I was asked how I wanted my boiled eggs cooked. I said I was not fussy so long as the white were firm and not runny. They were raw and inedible. I told the waiter and she said there was a function on later in the day and the chef was stressed. That's ok then! For a chef, in Scotland of all places, to come up with a rubbish porridge and be unable to boil eggs properly takes some doing. We won't stay there again.
