โWhat is there not to like when staying in such an iconic building, with excellent facilities, nice staff and an extraordinary view!
Beware: the cooked breakfast is heavy stuff and perhaps for 2 to share ๐โ
โNothing but positive things to say about Sweet Donside Cabins. Cabins and facilities were spotlessly clean, TV beds very spacious and comfortable, with the attention to detail excellent. Hot tubs were clean and well maintained. Lots of extra touches including a welcome basket.โ
โWe stayed here for 1 night on a Sunday. Absolutey 5 stars!! Service is quite simply outstanding and the innkeepers went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The decor is stunning. We had a room at the back which we absolutely loved - huge bathroom!! The whisky snug, the hallway, the restaurant are all gorgeous and immaculate. Don't hesitate, just book it!! โ
โUnpretentious simple accommodations complimented with premium bedding and bath soaps.
Hotel is warm and accommodating. Breakfast was magnificent.
Staff were genuinely wonderful and friendly
We would highly recommend this hotel.โ
โA long established grand hotel, which although a little tired, is very well presented and room was really clean and spacious Staff were very friendly, polite and extremely helpful. You felt their genuine desire that they wanted you to enjoy your stay. Food was exceptionally good, both dinner and at breakfast. With a wide range of choices it was all too easy to over-indulge. Best Sticky Toffee pud we have had. โ
โWhilst I didn't make use of the dining room in the evenings, breakfasts were good.
Harry the barman was excellent and proved knowledgeable about the whiskies available.โ
"Rooms were great, exceeding expectations considering its location in the countryside and cheap price.
However, the owner should not be so aggressive about inconveniences caused by guests.
If he thought we were too loud in our rooms, the owner should have simply said so.
Barging in to our room without any warning or properly announcing himself(he just opened the door and came in his bathrobes) was unacceptable. Proceeding to then waving/pointing the end of his walking stick at his guests' faces while shouting threats, would not be considered anywhere near tolerable, let alone hospitable.
We would have been regretful for any inconveniences we may have caused, if it were not for the owner waving his walking stick at us, causing more Shock than Regret. We are your customers, dear sir, not some kids you let in.
Cultural differences may exist, and the 'friendly' atmosphere of this facility may come with its downsides, but the owner should learn his manners before attempting to teach others theirs.
He would do well to remember the guests are not 'guests' at his home, but 'paying customers' who are using his facilities at their expense.
Other grievances include the fact that the housekeeping is limited to new towels, but I understand that it is in accordance with ESG trends.
Nevertheless, we still enjoyed most of our stay at this establishment."
