Fantastic stay at a wonderful location sadly let down to a degree by breakfast. Despite being down over half an hour before breakfast ended the selection of food had not and was not replenished no bread, no sausages however eventually a few eggs appeared. Staff appeared very reluctant to ensure a good breakfast choice was available.

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.
