After 36 years it was time to make it official and get married and there was one destination that had to feature in the Honeymoon, our favorite hotel anywhere! We have been visiting for 20 years after a chance discovery and have spent most significant celebrations here and always enjoyed! We were aware of the recent planned renovations and keen to see how these would impact on the environment and this was the perfect chance to revisit! So as we left our first stop in the Lakes to move onto Scotland there was some trepidation in to what we would find in the revitalised Mar Hall. On arrival in the beautiful Autumn sunshine the place looked great on the drive towards it and a real feeling of being glad to be back again! In reception we were greeted by the most charming lady who immediately made us feel at home (sorry with age I have forgotten her name!) and she showed us around and talked through where things would be for meals and wine and then onto our room! The room was amazing and a duplex suite which was spectacular with a comfortable living area, office area and television upstairs and the bedroom and bathroom down! All luxuriously furnished and decorated and with all of the home comforts you could need and views of the blue sky and Clyde and hills beyond! For dinner each night we dined in the Dining Room where the team were welcoming and looked after us perfectly - nothing stuffy just nice, friendly people doing a good job! We selected a window table on the first visit which by the end of the week had become our table - I am expecting an engraved plaque on it at our next visit! The team you don't see in the kitchens are remarkable, every meal we had was expertly executed, lovely starters, great selection of sea and field mains, perfect and different sides and spectacular desserts! Everything perfect and all washed down with a brilliant bar, cocktails and wine were all tested and delicious! Breakfasts were some of the best selections anywhere and the joy of sitting our in the terrace each morning after breakfast with a coffee was a bonus! We had the most perfect stay helped very much by the team at Mar Hall, we had no need to worry - it's in good hands and cannot wait to return! There will be no more long breaks between visits we both agreed! Please pass on our thanks to all and see you again soon! Paul & John.
