    cozy sitting area
    charming bar
    low shower pressure

    The place was so cozy with a lovely sitting area by the fire and a charming bar where we enjoyed playing games with friends. Plus, the sun terrace and comfy leisure room were perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Just a heads-up, the shower pressure was a bit low, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! 😊

    beautiful victorian
    cozy ambiance
    accessible bathrooms
    limited breakfast options

    The beautiful Victorian hotel exudes charm, with stunning scenery and a cozy ambiance. Friendly staff made the experience enjoyable, although bathrooms could be more accessible. Breakfast was satisfying, but a more extensive cooked option would have been nice, especially for those accustomed to traditional morning fare.

    mountain view
    well maintained garden
    poor quality food

    great views but disappointing dining experience

    The family suite provided a lovely mountain view, which we enjoyed during our stay. The hotel’s garden was well maintained and added to the peaceful atmosphere.

    I found the dining experience unsatisfactory.

    Double Room with Garden View features a vibrant outlook, perfect for morning coffee. The bath itself is spacious, giving a pleasant spot to relax after a long day.

    The bed's size and comfort fall short of expectations, leaving you a bit unsatisfied. The TV in the room didn’t work despite multiple efforts, which could be annoying for a longer stay. A handheld shower means some awkwardness when washing hair, and the toilet flushes loudly—definitely not the quiet retreat one might hope for. Plus, maneuvering out onto the main road from the entrance can feel like a mini adventure in itself.

    stunning views

    extensive grounds
    noisy nights

    cozy retreat with stunning views

    Had such a relaxing time here! The room was decorated beautifully with views over the hills. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, didn’t wanna leave it. The hotel grounds are extensive, great for a stroll. enjoyed the bar area for some chilled drinks. A bit noisy at night though, could use better soundproofing.

    charming décor
    cozy atmosphere
    easy accessibility
    signage issue
    visibility concern

    The hotel's charming décor felt like stepping into a cozy Scottish storybook, with historic touches and easy access for my comfort. The log fires and friendly atmosphere made it so inviting, I'd visit just for the ambiance!

    More accessible signage would improve first impressions.

    Charming stay in a cozy old house

    Lovely old building with character. The room had a big comfortable bed and a nice en-suite shower. Dining room was comfy with gorgeous views. The open fire was a cozy spot for drinks. Breakfast was solid, with a decent selection. Friendly staff made it even better.

    cozy atmosphere
    delicious food
    soft mattress

    Enjoyed my stay at the Cambus after a long drive. Cozy atmosphere, and the food delighted my taste buds. The soft mattress took some adjusting, but the warm ambiance made it worthwhile.

    great stay with room for improvement

    The classic design of the room created a warm ambiance that added to my stay. The spaciousness allowed for comfortable movement, and the lovely bathroom felt very inviting.

    The stunning mountain view was slightly marred by occasional road noise.
