Frommer's Review
Once a private mansion, this hotel is a charming 18th-century country house set amid a woodland garden that's adjacent to an 18-hole golf course. Over the years it has attracted royals, high-ranking government officials, film stars, and even Robert Burns himself. The staff maintains the country-house atmosphere with an informal and hospitable style. The furnishings throughout are high quality, and all the guest rooms are attractively furnished, each with tub/shower combo.
The restaurant's fish dishes are exceptional at dinner. Bar lunches and snack meals include mostly Scottish fare. A notice in the lobby tells you Robert Burns dined here in 1787, and the "Charles" who signed the guest register in 1982 was (you guessed it) the Prince of Wales. His sister, Princess Anne, has also stayed here.

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.
