Amazing hotel . Super nice, an amazing staff . Money was accidentally left in a room, they went way out of their way to return it to us. Just an great place to stay. Bar drinks are good too!

A landmark in its own right, locals come here for afternoon tea in Palm Court or dinner at the Michelin-starred Number One restaurant , and the spa is hands down the best in town . Read more

Jonathan Phang had the seafood starter, the best of Scotland oysters full of brain boosting Omega 3s (the cold waters make very good seafood ), the nicest of poultry in a grouse and black pudding .

Kingsley Younger

There is a Michelin star restaurant in this hotel as featured in Jonathan Phang's Gourmet Train . Must try the grouse, which is a type of bird native to Scotland.

Great tea service, if a bit expensive . The savory snacks are great, but desserts are only so-so. I highly recommend the smoked white tea if you want a unique Scottish experience

Siddy Jobe

If you are staying in the hotel , you should check out room 552 where Jk Rowling wrote the finale of Harry Potter . #magicexists you just have to #believe in it. Have fun.

I was with my Mum in their whisky bar but deeply regret not having any whisky as their selection was epic. Next time!

Try the tasting menu at Number1, it's to die for and the service is amazing, ambience is great, lots of room to relax and chat without being crowded by other diners.

Worst service ever seen!! I arrived 5:15pm but they can't serve any afternoon tea delights because ends at 5pm. The tea was served with 2 cookies without any napkin.
