Paid for the best room with a spa bath and balcony, spa bath was dirty and didnt work & balcony was shared with a second room where an angry woman yelled at us for walking out onto it (why would you not put a divider?)

The absolute charm of the hotel negates and negatives. For me the hotel is getting a little old, aircon quite tired, bed needing tightening up, never the less I continue to stay at Craigs. It's wonderful.

The hot water in the show keeps playing up, sometimes hot, sometimes cold; there was a time I was washing my hair, and suddenly, the water became cold. I told reception, and they said they would have a plumber to have a look in the future.....Not a very good experience

Noise level way too high
Reception was friendly and staff helpful. The room was average, but the problem was the noise. We really couldn’t sleep properly. The condenser unit 1 meter away from our window was very noisy. The dB reading was 47 on average through the night (I’m a past sound engineer and care about that kind of stuff).

Hospitality dining issues at Craig's
The overall experience was very good in a top-rate traditional property. However our dining experience at the Atrium on Saturday night was spoilt by the poor service of the two staff on duty. At the completion of our main course they ignored our table) even though the room was about one-third occupied) for about half an hour to remove our plates and for us to request the dessert menu. Both staff were not cognisant of the wishes of the diners at all tables. They need better training in Hospitality.
