We held two functions in the Arkle Room and the main function room. Both rooms looked beautiful upon arrival. The tables had lovely menus. Service was excellent, and the food was great. I stayed one night in a family room. The room was so nice and super clean. Breakfast was great with a menu that pleased everyone.
The basin in the bathroom only had cold water. The shower goes from hot to ice cold constantly so you can't really enjoy the shower
