The room was clean. The majority of the staff was very helpful and attentive.
We had a couple of minor inconveniences, such as the room was not prepared when we arrived. We had requested 2 beds and it was made with one. We had to request twice for it to be made up properly before it was done. (The housekeeping staff was very apologetic.)
For the cost, more than $550/night, the view out the large lovely window was of the parking lot. :( And we had hoped for a historic hotel as that is what we searched for, and the main hotel was lovely and historic, but we were housed out in the newer spa building across the parking lot. Nice and clean, but not historic.
Also, it’s a bit of a walk to the city center. About 20-25 minutes walk.

Kings Mills is one of the finest hotels we've stayed in, in Europe and the U.S. From the beautifully manicured gardens to the lovely decorated king suite, the great bar, sitting room, and dining room, it is exquisitely maintained and managed by a superb staff.

The concierge and reception staff were very helpful, and the rooms were cleaned daily. We loved the gardens and enjoyed having breakfast and tea after a long day out. We would definitely recommend it to friends and plan on coming back soon!

We were extremely disappointed with this hotel. I checked the reviews before booking and expected a true 5-star experience. The reviews mentioned comfortable beds, which was especially important since we were trying to recover from jet lag. Unfortunately, the bed was one of the worst we’ve ever slept on. It honestly felt like sleeping directly on a box spring instead of a mattress. I could feel every piece of wood underneath, and we woke up every morning with sore backs and almost no sleep.

To their credit, the staff did try to help by adding extra mattress toppers, but they were very thin and made little difference. Thankfully, this was only the beginning of our trip, and we had other hotels ahead to look forward to.

Another disappointment was the lack of complimentary water or even basic snacks. Expect to pay for absolutely everything — even the smallest items.

The room, staff, and food were all excellent. Very friendly, clean, and inviting. What wasn’t was the pack of locals who felt as though the sauna, jacuzzi, pool, and steam room belonged to them. Our experience trying to have a relaxing evening in the indoor pool area was really a low point of our entire trip to Scotland. I believe community members may purchase access to the gym, etc., which is totally fine and lovely. What wasn’t fine and lovely were the two men who seemed to think the place belonged to them and that we, as tourists, were a bother and an unwelcome addition to THEIR sauna. I love Scotland and have visited more than once. This is the only time I have ever felt uncomfortable and disliked simply because my traveling partner and I were sitting in a sauna. Excuse me for my existence, sir. These men made it very clear that they disliked tourists.

Not up to standards. Definitely not what you would expect from a 4 stars luxury stay, a facility that -according to locals- is \"the best in town\". While the facility is beautiful and the staff is nice, it pains me to say that, next time, we will consider staying at an AirBnB in the city centre and possibly use the hotels restaurant and facilities - no special treatment is reserved for the hotel guests. We were told that we had to book our dinner in the restaurant in advance and that if we were 15 min late we would loose our table; and I was unable to spend my day at the spa as I was planning. It was fully booked: although the reception managed to book me a last minute massage, and even though it was mothers day, we were highly surprised that being a hotel guest (in one of the supposedly best rooms!) did not grant you any kind of preferred treatment for the spa - and we would have been more than happy to pay good money for it. And finally, the service was not one you would expect from a luxury hotel. Most importantly, I told the staff several times that I was celiac, but they nonetheless served me a regular biscuit reassuring me that it was gluten free (it was not). I am sure it was an innocent mistake, but yet, a very big one, which added to the numerous small ones has made sure that we will not be going back to this hotel.

I had a terrible stay at this 4 star hotel. After a long journey, I was expecting to get some proper rest, but I was unable to do so due to continuous noise coming from fans located just outside my window.

I understand that a wedding event was taking place; however, rooms that are severely affected by such noise should not be allocated to other guests. The situation made it impossible to rest properly.

Additionally, I could not open the windows for fresh air because of the constant noise. The receptionist had informed me that the fans would not operate until 8:30 a.m., but they actually started much earlier, around 7:00 a.m., further disrupting my stay.

Staff was hit or miss, it is an old hotel that is starting to show its age. The beds are firm and old feeling, the toilet in our room was loose from the wall and our bathroom radiator didn't work. The pool is small, shallow and old also, the hot tub wasn't hot and the pool cold. From the outside it looks like a great hotel, but afyer staying here i would say pass and choose a different one. Food in restaurant was good, but portions were tiny even by european standards. Its hard to pay £54 for 2 pieces of pork tenderloin and a 3cm by 8cm piece of pork belly with bones. Didn't bother with breakfast so can't speak to that.

We were told the room wasn’t ready until 4pm sharp, so we came back then… however there was still hair in the shower. The shampoo and conditioner pumps were faulty, and they were clearly never cleaned, only refilled. The showers have mold growing in every corner. We requested housekeeping to turn our room over while we were out, and we returned to find the bedspread had been pulled over and tucked in around a blanket that was half folded on the bed, and the pillows in disarray, as we had left them. They had replaced the towels however, so I suppose that’s “job done”. The beds were hard and I swear I could count the springs as I lay on them. The rooms feel worn out and could use some attention and perhaps maintenance as well as a deep clean.
