I had a delightful escape at Ardoe House, enjoying the beautiful countryside setting and the excellent spa facilities. The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, providing a comfortable stay. Dining was a highlight, with exceptional food both at breakfast and dinner. However, the bar area felt cramped, and the afternoon tea arrangement could have been better organized, which slightly dampened the experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The building is beautiful, and the food was enjoyable, particularly the breakfast which featured a nice Scottish spread. However, there were definitely some teething problems with cleanliness and the service, especially in the spa where no treatments were available despite high expectations. Plus, the lack of communication regarding these issues was frustrating.

The room I stayed in was lovely, spacious, and had a fantastic bathroom, but there were some cobwebs and a dusty atmosphere.

Service was quite hit or miss. Some staff were friendly and helpful, but others seemed overwhelmed and lacking training, which affected our experience.

The dining experience was a highlight, with a good range of food at breakfast. I really enjoyed the Scottish breakfast options, although a few small details like napkins could enhance the experience.

The spa facilities were a letdown as no treatments were available, though the sauna and pool were nice. It's a shame the spa aspect didn't meet expectations.

The Ardoe Hotel has potential with its comfortable rooms and a decent breakfast, but the dining experience and service were lacking. It feels more like a venue for events than a relaxing getaway. Improvements are definitely needed to elevate its status as a luxury hotel.

Rooms

The room was comfortable, but it felt worn and in need of some maintenance. There was an unattractive stain on the sofa, which was a bit off-putting.

The service during dinner was disappointing, with inexperienced staff who seemed overwhelmed, but the breakfast service was a notable improvement.
