Room very dated

We were out in the old rooms, so basic & dated, must be 20 + years since these last had a refit. We paid £196 which was a rip off for this room, £110 would have been fair as it was way beyond tired.

This hotel was in a beautiful location. The staff were friendly and check in was a breeze! I loved the warm chocolate chip cookies we were given upon arrival. The hotel has a lot of halls with short stairs that make hauling suitcases a pain, but it’s an old building so to be expected. We loved the coffee shop in Dunblane…Beech Tree I think was the name. Great location close to Stirling castle and other attractions.
