On the positive side this country hotel is stunning and in a beautiful location. We had a beautiful room and everything that we could need including hairdryer and fan, which was a godsend on such a beautifully hot weekend. The young lady who greeted us had a lovely disposition and provided all the information we needed before leaving us to settle in.
I hate to say anything negative about the hotel but the purpose of reviews is to help
improvement and the dining area was the only let down. The food itself was well cooked but the wait for food was too long, especially when there were only 2 tables to deal with. I appreciate everything is probably cooked to order but I could have produced the same in less than half the time. I hate to think how the kitchen would have coped had the restaurant been full.
Breakfast was a let down. The menus contains items that contain eggs, such as scrambled egg and salmon, poached egg on hash brown, full English/Scottish breakfast and omelettes but they had run out of eggs! We therefore had no choice but to take the full breakfast without eggs. This was really disappointing as I would have done without everything else to get an egg. The quality of the breakfast was good and It was not any old black pudding but Stornaway so that helped make up for the lost egg a little.
I hope the hotel will not be offended by my comments regarding dining. I have provided them to help them improve and make sure they don’t run out of eggs again for my return trip as we will definitely be back.
