Review 7：All aspects were excellent, wish we could have stayed longer. Our hosts and staff were fantastic. Excellent food. Nice and peacefull location - great for relaxing.

Review 8：Only that the WiFi had poor reception, and this is a very minor point considering where you are. We will definitely go again.

Review 9：Location, staff, food and room. All the things you consider when you book. The staff where lovely and very helpful when we came back from a muddy, wet short walk. Evening meal was very good and the room was stunning.

Review 10：The shower in the room could have been a bit warmer. The fresh fruit was not fresh. The menu could have been more varied, due to non fish eaters.

Review 33：Beautifully cooked and presented dinner.

Review 34：There are no words to describe this hotel and staff, speechless every time!!

Review 35：The attention to detail: homemade shortbread, liqueur, dog treats for our puppy! Lovely room and fabulous bath. Breakfast and the beautiful grounds, perfect for dog walking.

Review 36：We enjoyed our two nights stay immensely and would happily return. We stayed in Room 7 which I believe is the smallest double room in the hotel but it was very spacious and comfortable for us - with a large separate bathroom and separate dressing area. We were extremely happy with our room, the hotel, the food and the views. The hotel itself is very tastefully decorated and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.

Review 37：perhaps a bit pricey

Review 38：staff very friendly and attentive, rooms very comfortable and well equipped, lovely location, loved the red squirrels and wildlife just outside the window.

Review 39：Exterior of hotel in need of fresh paint. Carpets heavy with overbearing pattern and a mismatch with wallpaper. Single room sold as double room exceedingly small for two people and a dog and overpriced. Definition of room was garden view but overlooked kitchen and unpleasant smell from extractor fan was continually present when in operation Kettle unusable but was kindly replaced by Stephen with a new one. Disappointing value for money. Fruit in bedroom apricot and peach mouldy. Breakfast--adequate but portion control very much in evidence.

Review 40：Dog friendly and Stephen amiable and helpful.

Review 42：The friendly staff and atmosphere and food.

Review 43：Could find no faults at all.
