    missing bar tv
    limited dining options

    The food was fantastic, especially breakfast and dinner, with plenty of choices. My standard twin room was clean and spacious, and I appreciated the free use of the leisure facilities like the pool and jacuzzi.

    The bar area could use a TV.

    It was good stay, I enjoyed fabulous food.

    Everything was perfect in this nicely decorated and reasonably priced hotel. The breakfast was absolutely superb and served in the dining room with lots of food. It was an absolutely perfect and magnificent location very close to clubs in the surrounding area, and anyway who wants to say in Forfar.

    great food
    comfortable stay

    The food was fantastic, especially breakfast and dinner, with plenty of choices. The bar area was very cute, though a tv for watching news or football would have been a nice touch. My standard twin room was clean and spacious, and i appreciated the free use of the leisure facilities like the pool and jacuzzi.

    comfy bed
    worn carpets
    average food

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy and the room was alright for a night. Breakfast was decent to start the day and we enjoyed it.

    but the carpets in the room looked worn out n the food could have been better, just not what we expected.
