Great one night stay.
The staff were all attentive, extremely friendly and more than helpful with any requests. Love music was excellent, table service from the bar all for less than the coat of a budget chain hotel in Inverness. Really impressive surrounding area/grounds, just a shame didnt get to try out the health suite/spa facilities.

Basics are right, but needs upgrades/modernisation
Beautiful old building and great location. Service was mostly good, although the table service at the bar wasn't very attentive. Restaurant and breakfast were excellent. The bedroom was old and quirky - in a good way - mostly. However, the mattress was at the end of it life and very uncomfortable - a double mattress that was a double mattress (normally, a double room has a bigger than UK standard Double bed - but hey-ho!). The shower-over-the-bath was lethal, someone previous had almost pulled the towel rail down, guessing whilst trying to get out the shower/bath.

This hotel was in a beautiful location. The staff were friendly and check in was a breeze! I loved the warm chocolate chip cookies we were given upon arrival. The hotel has a lot of halls with short stairs that make hauling suitcases a pain, but it’s an old building so to be expected. We loved the coffee shop in Dunblane…Beech Tree I think was the name. Great location close to Stirling castle and other attractions.
