Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness8.8

    Generally reported as clean (e.g., 'Alles was schoon'); rooms and public areas well kept for most guests, though one guest reported housekeeping missed cleaning for two days.

  • Service8.0

    Staff frequently described as friendly and attentive with good hospitality, but there are notable service failures: reception disputes/overcharging, refusal to reasonably accommodate an extra night in an emergency, and some operational lapses (breakfast timing, housekeeping).

  • Location9.0

    Many guests praise the peaceful, attractive grounds, proximity to transport/airport and easy access to Edinburgh by bus; a minority found it less convenient for central Edinburgh.

  • Room Quality8.3

    Rooms are described as spacious with comfortable (often praised) beds and good facilities; some guests note worn beds, older areas, and minor maintenance issues (e.g., bathroom caulking) or modern wing needing refresh.

  • Amenities9.5

    Strong amenities: pool, spa, full golf circuit, fitness facilities and on-site restaurant/bar are frequently highlighted as excellent features of the property.

  • Value for Money7.0

    Mixed value: some guests call it good value, but several significant complaints about overcharging (extra room/bed charges) and an unusually high rate for an emergency extra night lowered perceived value.

  • Food and Beverage8.3

    Food at the on-site restaurant and bar receives positive mentions, but breakfast service and quality drew complaints (not available early enough for some, and at least one comment noted poor breakfast).

  • Overall Experience8.3

    Mostly positive stays with beautiful grounds and pleasant staff for many guests, tempered by several impactful negative experiences (booking/payment disputes, refusal to accommodate in an emergency, housekeeping/ breakfast issues) that affected return intent for some.
