Beautiful place and food. Staff were wonderful.

Stayed overnight on our way back down south. Beautiful place to stay. Had a lovely walk in the grounds before a drink in the bar. Had a beautiful meal in the evening and was finished off with our Scottish breakfast in the morning. Highly recommended.

Beautiful country hideaway

Very reasonable room rate for early summer Friday, lovely old house in beautiful surroundings renovated to a comfortable hotel. Owner James was very helpful on the phone when I was delayed and arriving after 11pm, taking time to explain where the electric car charger was. Breakfast was included in room rate and nice quality. Will stay again.

Made a journey stop over into a holiday.

A last minute stop on a long journey and we happened upon a gem. Lovely room that was a little noisy was changed without fuss to a superb alternative - wow. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Really made the journey one of the best parts of the holiday. Lovely breakfast in the morning set us up for the rest of the drive. Pleasant and helpful staff are a real credit to the management.

Magnificent building. Friendly service, comfortable room impressive bath👍. Evening meal great, breakfast great. After dinner scotch was an effort for the waitress, she was brilliant and got there after a bit of mountain climbing, hazardous😳. Check in and out were easy. The only negative was the surface on the drive, but can appreciate that surfacing that length of drive would be prohibitively expensive.

not luxury but a country side experience 4/5

You shouldn't expect luxury but a piece of history and the country side life, The road to the hotel absolutely terrifying, no light and no asphalt with lots of holes and bumps, you definitely need a carwash after driving there which I believe that should be a thing to be notify before traveling there. They need a sign on entrance as the nice photo of the hotel is actually the rear of the building without any access.

The best place we have stayed in on this vacation.

An absolutely incredible stay. The facility is fit for royalty. The rooms top notch. The bathroom was the best I have experienced in my trip to date. Had supper and breakfast and both were on white table clothes and appropriate number of knifes and forks. The staff were super nice and even though they were preparing for a wedding, they always had time for us. The grounds around the hotel were beyond description. This is a destination where you want to spend some quiet time. Villages are close but you have to drive

I dont usually leave reviews, but I have to say how stunning this hall hotel & cottages are. We stayed in Stables cottage as there are 5 of us. We had a gorgeous, unbelievably equipped kitchen with everything you need. Every device was high end. The nain bed is huge, emperor size i think. Im used to a King size, but this was beautiful. The bathroom is stunning, with a fab walk in shower & ckaw footed bath. The grounds are stunning, with secluded woods, a huge field with football nets, which our boys loved. There also a huge trampoline. The Hall Hotel was beautiful. A hidden gem!

The hotel is beautiful but old Had a lovely stay and an excellent nights sleep. My only negatives would be the separate bathroom and the service at breakfast was not great. No one to greet us or take our order. Had to flag down a waitress to get a pot of tea and no toast offered with breakfast. We would stay again though especially if the evening menus were to change.

Loved the property. Some shared room furniture tattered and not looking like it belongs it a house of such grandeur. Same for the folding table legs visible in dining area. Parcels like mattresses in the foyer and entrance way, etc...However, staff exceptional, rooms wonderful, and meals excellent. I wish them well as they continue to make improvements and flourish. We will be back!
