    Arriving to this tranquil venue was such a delight, loved the cottage and the outlook over the gazing cows in the meadows. The bedding was superb and all the little extras like the rusks and milk to go with the complimentary coffee and tea.

    The pool at the tennis court was still dirty from a function the day before at 9:30am. There were no towels for the patrons and the loungers were dirty. For a 5 star establishment we expected better burgers and fries.

    Breakfast selections were amazing. Our car was washed and polished before we left. A wonderful surprise! Rooms were luxurious and beautifully spaced out.

    Previously arranged early book-in was not possible due to previous guests leaving later than expected, We were however made to feel at home in the lounge and bar area, while we waited. The carpet in the room could have been cleaner. Perhaps a good wet carpet wash will do the trick. We found somebody elses toe nail clipping on the carpet beside the bed, after stepping on this. Curtains looked untidy and needed to be hooked back on the rail.

    We loved the peace and quiet, the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the early morning fly fishing (No. 08 Olive Red-Eyed Damsel FTW) and close-up otter sighting very much. But most of all, we enjoyed the food and the proper rest and relaxation. 10/10 for the dinners. The bed was very comfortable and linen was clean and crisp. I enjoyed the short stories which were delivered to the room by the bedtime turndown service. I beleive the spa treatment was great..., my Fiancee fell alseep during the head, neck and shoulders message ;)

    Early morning noise outside my room was a little annoying. Golf carts and staff gathering at the conference center, situate right opposite my room.

    It was raining on the evening that we checked in. I was not very happy that the golf cart did not have any covers.With the result ,we were soaking wet by the time we reached out room 23.My daughter was a bride getting dressed at our room and the cart was not conducive for her getting into with her bridal gown.On 31 Oct 2023 we visited Fordoun to see what our rooms would look like as we were preparing for the wedding.We were told that we had Room 1 ( which was booked for my son) and room 19 for my daughter & myself.Only to find on arrival we were told that we had Room 1 and Room 23.... I am aware that room 19 and 23 are the same .However I could not understand why the rooms were changed without my knowledge. It was a further distance that we had to be subjected to with the rain and the golf cart.When I asked abt the change at reception, I did not receive a validation.

    Breakfast was good.Location good as well
