Expect a well-stocked whisky bar and a polished, relaxed vibe throughout.

Spa and wellness facilities include an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub and massage treatments, plus a fully equipped gym. On-site perks: free parking, 24-hour front desk, concierge, a picnic area, tours desk and playrooms for kids. Pets are allowed on request, making this a family-friendly and pet-friendly option.

Conference and meeting/banquet rooms are available (charges may apply), backed by a business centre and free Wi‑Fi throughout. Plenty of on-site parking and concierge support make corporate events and meetings easy to run.

Two on-site eateries — the Inglis Restaurant and the Conservatory Restaurant — pair fresh local produce with Scottish and international flavours. Breakfast is served at the hotel, and the whisky bar offers a standout selection for evening drinks.
