Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent
"The whole hotel was extremely clean and well decorated. Our room was huge with a fantastic view over the golf course and the bathroom had underfloor heating. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good selection of cooked and buffet food. The bar menu for evening meals is a bit limited but the food we had was good and well cooked. We have been to this hotel many times and will be back again."
