I stayed at Macdonald Huston House on business for 6 weeks. The hotel offers a very pleasant atmosphere home to home and excellent value for money. The pool and gym very relaxing. The bar and restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere with a variety of dinner choices. The staff and management are professional and pleasant. The service at reception is exceptional. Special thanks to Clare on reception for her attention to detail ensuring customers needs were met. My extended thanks to Nicola and all the breakfast staff ensuring a prompt service each morning. Highly recommended pleasant hotel

Nice historic setting as a hotel. Cool bar, friendly service, nice breakfast, nice room, large gardens. Will gladly stay there again. An island in the larger city setting.

Had afternoon tea here. Lovely location and great service. The food was delicious and well presented. Dining room was stark, quiet and full of history. Good place for a celebration

Very disappointing… stayed 2 years ago and wanted to come back to celebrate a birthday. Building and decor is very tired and shabby. Attempts at redecorating poor. Food and service mediocre at best. Needs major overhaul and relaunch.
