Frommer's Review

This restored Victorian mansion sits on 2.2 hectares (5 acres) of well-landscaped gardens on the outskirts of Dundee. It comes complete with a nature trail and an adventure playground for the kids. It's also one of the best-equipped hotels in the area, with a leisure club, an outdoor heated pool, and a spa. Bedrooms are well laid out, tastefully furnished, and comfortable, each with a carefully maintained bathroom. The so-called executive rooms are more modern than the traditional doubles. Most of the rooms are tartan-themed, though others are aflame in floral colors.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor heated pool; health club; spa; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; steam room

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
