The hotel and staff are amazing. A little quaint at first but that definitely grows on you. Tony the pianist was fantastic and played almost 5 hours solid with just a very short break. Reception area for check in/out is very odd like you are not sure you're doing things right. Breakfast was a major disappointment - the full Scottish was stingy in portion size (half a slice of bacon, skinny sausage and dry potato scone) and the guacamole for eggs benedict seemed shop bought. The room, gardens and surroundings were beautiful. Will come back but little areas to improve on.

Lovely family stay.

Wonderful recent stay. Visited with our 4mth old baby and hotel staff could not have been more helpful and understanding. Cot was placed in room, we were situated in the corner of the restaurant with space for baby’s bassinet at dinner and the whole team were wonderful with assisting with bags etc.

I called in advance to check if baby would be welcome in the dining room and was reassured that was fine. We dined a little earlier to try minimise disruption to other diners bur baby was ok and the team were again great. Dinner importantly was wonderful! As was breakfast!

The room was a great size for travelling with a baby, and the bathroom looked recent refurbished. No fridges in the room, but hospitality trays with kettles available on request.

The grounds were gorgeous - beautiful gardens which were lovely for a walk around.

Greywalls is the most beautiful country house hotel with open fires, comfortable lounges and fascinating memorabilia. The rooms are tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and antique furniture, and even in February the Gertrude Jekyll designed garden is beautiful. The staff are welcoming and very attentive. The food is delicious but the menu is very limited so if you’re staying for more than one night it can be repetitive. We had lunch guests who are lactose intolerant which we flagged up weeks in advance but no account was taken of this so the only pudding offered was dairy free ice-cream. There wasn’t even a fruit salad! Also much of the coffee we drank was very weak. For a hotel of this calibre this was disappointing. Still we are looking forward to our next stay as the place itself is worth it.

Disappointing

For such a highly rated hotel (and “superior” room) I expected a kettle and tea things in the room as standard but none there. Didn’t want to wake my partner by asking reception at 6am to bring it across when I realised this. Restaurant service for much needed tea at breakfast was very slow. Mirror with no light nearby and broken blind in bathroom also disappointing. Beautiful grounds and ambience in hotel itself

Smallest single room I’ve chosen. Single bed was fine. Overall room felt a bit dated but functional for one nite only. Reasonable toiletries provided. Room had no coffee/tea making facilities which may seem trivial but as a single traveller it’s sometimes nice to have the option in your own space. Staff friendly and accommodating. Coffee available in communal areas. Traditional breakfast was fine and as expected. Location very good for golf lovers.

It was nice but not amazing and not really worth the cost for the night, the rooms were late to be ready and not cleaned to a high standard (dust on the windowsill, cobwebs by the window) and you could hear very easily people walking in the room above. Breakfast was nice and included in the cost but small portion, the grounds were lovely to walk around though.

Lovely setting, nice and relaxing. Staff were friendly and informative. Breakfast was limited but very nice. Slightly disappointed in that we tried to book dinner via the app as advised to do so, but unfortunately there was no availability, however when we arrived, we got asked if we wanted a table for dinner but by that time we had made alternative arrangements. It would have been nice to experience dinner at the hotel.
There was some maintenance issues such as bulbs out in the room, tennis court area, but you can expect a bit of backlog given the last year.

The accommodation was described as a \" cottage \".
It was , in fact , a gatehouse with steps up to the room..
As my wife is recovering from a hip fracture , and uses a walking frame , this was a complete disappointment.
As this was a 50th wedding anniversary surprise - we were sadly let down.
The hotel should be more honest in their description of the accommodation.

Experience of food poisoning

I stayed one night with my partner to celebrate her birthday
The service and food was good up to a point. For myself I had scallops, duck and lemon tart for dinner which I thought was excellent.
However in the early hours of the night I experienced a bout of serious acute food poisoning. My partner had to phone NHS24 how to deal with the situation. The night porter did a great job in bringing fresh sheets and towels as well as cleaning materials.
In the morning, however, the management on duty were less than reluctant to take any responsibility at all.
I do understand that public liability can be a problem these days but an apology at least might have been appropriate. All that came were excuses that it could not be their fault, despite my partner describing how acute the problem had been and passing on the comments from NHS24.
It seemed the establishment only wished to retain their otherwise good reputation without admitting any possibility that the problem could be down to them.
