This place is an absolute NO NO
This place is an absolute NO NO We have stayed in some lovely hotels but this by far is the worst Oh from the outside it looks idyllic with its grounds lake and fishing if thats what floats your boat but inside it is an absolute disgrace They use their lovely location to get away with the tacky disgusting rooms they give you I was given a Virgin Experience gift from my daughter myself and my partner decided to stay here Big mistake the stair carpet was a total mess it looked like a load of builders had trampled through the place there is mould and cobwebs on the ceiling filthy windows dirt in corners and no hot water and before anyone says did you not complain my answer is REALLY Should we need to complain shortly after arrival and in a 3 establishment where you expect some kind of quality I m guessing the ones that rate this place so highly are the ones who have the decent rooms Room Holly was our room one of the smallest rooms here even though on the phone i was told when i booked it was an upgrade from what a closet We had a free breakfast too but decided to leave at 5 30 in the morning Never to return As ratings go it s a 1 10 from us I definitely DO NOT recommend Internet is useless too

We stayed at Fiars Carse castle hotel
We stayed at Fiars Carse castle hotel for the 1st time on Friday after our wedding We had to travel by car for a couple hours at night through a snowstorm so we arrived quite tired Nonetheless we arrived to find plentiful parking and were happy with everything the place looked very nice from the outside as well as the inside and the receptionist was friendly Despite being officially a modestly-priced 3-Star hotel we were impressed with everything as the place was very clean and well looked after and in no way felt anything less than a finely-preserved castle hotel The receptionist did mention upon arrival that the rooms are not renovated into ultra modernised decorations which we don t expect anyway and are happy to see a fair degree of traditional features We were happy with the clean spacious room which had a comfy bed and a well-kept bathroom and who cares if it wasn t ultra-modern The room had a clean kettle cups spoons with tea and coffee etc and the free wifi was good also After a comfortable sleep we finally got to see the place and the beautiful surroundings in the daylight the next morning We went downstairs for breakfast which was one of the Best breakfasts we ve ever had at any hotel The breakfast area was well-kept clean and very well laid-out There was a good selection of things to help yourself to such as fruit cereals Good Quality bread including a choice of bread which we could toast The staff whom served us were of the highest of standard they very promptly served us brought us some nice coffee and milk and took our choice of cooked breakfast The cooked breakfast was made perfectly as we requested and even the cutlery was nice I d like to add that all the staff gave a good vibe they were chilled out and didn t seem overworked I point this out as some places that we ve been to in the past including much more expensive places have had creepy vibes including staff that were clearly overworked and on edge which was Not the case here At one point we believe it was the Manager even came over during breakfast just to ask and check if all the guests were alright and not too intrusively either After we checked out we had a good walk around the premises as it s in a fantastic place 5 Stars overall 10 10
