Honeymoon stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Jan 2025via mobile
My new husband and I stayed here for 2 nights following our wedding.

After a lovely check-in, we found our way to the bar, still in our wedding attire but we didn't feel out of place as the great hall is quite a magnificent room and with it being December all the Christmas trees and decorations only added to its grandeur!

We spent hours enjoying fabulous wine and beer lounging on the sofas. the staff were really very lovely and attentive.

We went back to our suite, which was quite a walk away because of the renovations and when you are wearing a wedding dress and have consumed several glasses of wine it made for quite a comical walk 😂

The suite itself was lovely and clean. It had a nice, big, comfortable bed, and housekeeping had put a chocolate heart on our bed. My only complaint about our room was how cold it was. It was, however, a particularly cold, windy weekend when we stayed, so with that in mind, I'm sure it is quite difficult to heat a building of this age and size. But it only added to the romance of our stay as we had to snuggle together to keep warm 🩷

The next morning, we went for breakfast, and the selection of food and drinks available was ideal for a couple who may or may not have had a hangover 😅 again the staff at breakfast were lovely and attentive.

After breakfast, we decided to visit the spa but we were a bit disappointed by how cold it was. The water in the pool was so cold I couldn't even manage to swim a length. So we left and had afternoon tea in the great hall, which was absolutely delicious.

Dinner was also absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection!

Overall, it was a really lovely stay. I'm so glad we picked here for our honeymoon as it means we have to come back every year for our anniversary!

Went to Hogmany Ball which was awful!!! Not held in Mar Hall but a very cold marquee that was ridiculous!!! Path down to it had no lighting. Paid £1000 for tickets and drinks. Would not recommend this to anyone. First and last time there. Family were put out of main bar while waiting on taxi arriving only to be told area was for residents only!!!!
What I thought would be a lovely night to bring in the New Year .Mar Hall certainly did not live up to its 5star experience!!!
I left a comment on their Facebook page only for it to be removed.
Emailed my complaint to them and have yet to receive a reply.!!!
Very disappointed and angry at them.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. It is certainly disappointing to read your comments on your Hogmanay experience at Mar Hall and also the lack of attention following your night. You might kindly forward your earlier correspondence to victoria.kane@marhall.com and I will ensure urgent reply.

Kind Regards

The rooms are filthy and tired. Mattress was very stained. Menu was so limited, if you don’t like beef or Salmon, there’s not much else. Marquee was freezing, had my coat on all night. Not even a 2 star hotel £480 later and I’m gutted. What an end to 2024!

We stayed at Mar Hall last night (02/01/25). It was a last minute booking. We are a family of three. We had a lovely stay and used the pool.
We had a young lady named Tabby who came to our room and made my daughter's bed, she also got some things that i requested. In the morning we arrived for breakfast. During breakfast my 4 year old asked me for water. There was no water available at the breakfast buffet so I asked the young man named Mikey (Michael), if i could get a glass of water. He replied yes, but proceeded to continue cleaning the tables and setting the table. I asked him again 15 minutes later as my 4 year old really wanted water. Mikey snapped at me and said he will get it, I did not respond to his disgusting attitude, I just nodded and said ok. After a further 10 minutes, the glass of water arrived. I thanked Mikey and my husband explained to Mikey that water was not available at the breakfast buffet. He had a Vile attitude towards us throughout breakfast. We payed a lot of money for our stay, everything and everyone was pleasant except for the young man at breakfast on 03/01/25.
There was a young lady along with Mikey, called Jess (Jessica), she was very attentive and we asked her for any requests we had after that.
Unfortunately we will not be back and will not recommend this hotel to our family and friends. This incident is unfortunate because we were excited to go back after the refurbishment for future stay.
It only takes one person to put the whole team and hotel down.
I hope this young man does not treat any other guests like this and also fixes his attitude at this young age or he will not get very far in life.

Love the spa & gym.
Staff go above and beyond.
One of my favourite resorts in Scotland
Malbec is wine in bar best I’ve tasted.
Great relaxing retreat
Pool great for adults & kids
All new gym equipment is brand new and had everything needed for in depth work out. Beautiful surroundings to sit relax. & enjoy the view in outdoor hot tub. Golf course was fantastic. Loved being able to relax and enjoy all the facilities.

Room tip: Put lid back on hot tub to keep heat in

We had a lovely visit for my partner’s birthday on Boxing Day! The staff were welcoming and helpful, and we enjoyed the amenities. We got a deluxe room and it was comfortable and warm and the bathroom was spacious. Chocolates had been left for my partner’s birthday which was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our meal in the renovated restaurant and some drinks in the grand hall. The pool, sauna and steam room were really relaxing and looked great after their renovation. The breakfast and room it was held in was lovely also. We also booked a falconry session which we throughly enjoyed. The falconer was knowledgable and we got to see and fly five birds overall. The session was informative and very interesting. Only issue was that the package we booked advertised a bottle of Prosecco in the room on arrival but this was not in the room, although we did get free glasses of Prosecco when we enquired with reception. We look forward to seeing the renovations after they’re completed as some areas of the hotel are a little more outdated.
