My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, offering a real feeling of space and seclusion, right beside the gracefully dark River Tay. However, the dining could have been better despite the lovely food, and finding myself in the annex far from the main hotel was not ideal, especially for someone with disabilities.

The hotel offers a lovely setting and some beautiful amenities but falls short in certain areas. The rooms have been refurbished but still require maintenance, with a lingering smell of dampness. The service was lacking finesse and attention to detail, impacting the overall experience. Despite some shortcomings, the location is excellent, and the dining experience, while rushed, offers a decent selection of breakfast items.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms didn't quite match the description; they were beautiful but facing the marquee used for events. On a high note, the staff sweetly acknowledged my husband's birthday. However, the room was overheated without proper cooling options, aside from opening a window.
