Stay in the main building.
Our stay was less than grand. The first night we were put in the grotesque Sterling Wing, with its dilapidated walls, musty smell, non-functioning lift and faulty toilet. We asked to be moved. The second night in the main building was much nicer. The staff had a bit of an attitude. They seemed to want to be helpful but were defensive. They need better training. Surely Hilton can afford to put some money into this property - it has a lot of potential.

The disability accommodations were incredibly helpful. Staff was nice and its a very pretty hotel. The only issue that we had was the massive flooding in the shower from the drain being clogged with hair before we got there. They fixed up the issue and mentioned making sure that cleaning staff is more frequently checking the drains.

Fortunately, a happy ending
My wife and I were booked in for dinner bed and breakfast but unfortunately on the way to the hotel my wife fell and ended up in accident and emergency in Stirling. I contacted the hotel explaining the situation and they were extremely helpful telling me not to worry and that they would take care of everything and cancel my booking. I received a full refund two days later.

A beautiful hotel in wonderful grounds. Excellent, friendly staff and a tasty breakfast. We were just disappointed that the pool was closed on Sunday afternoon and Monday as we were looking forward to a swim. May we have a partial refund, please?

Dated Accommodation but clean
Room was somewhat dated but was clean. The bed was not the most comfortable as it seemed to have a gap in the middle which I kept disappearing down. Breakfast was lovely and all things considered I would stay here again.
