A beautiful traditional mansion with wood panelling and gorgeous heavy curtains, huge vases of fresh flowers and lovingly furnished in keeping. When we pulled up to the house it certainly cuts an amazing picture with a manicured lawn to the front and when being showed to our room a lovely huge oak staircase passing Basil, the very friendly in house parrot! We were given the Honeymoon Suite! Couldn’t believe it for the price we paid. Huge bedroom and the bed was so comfy; bath with shower over was hot with good pressure and fluffy towels. We also had our own living room with TV, so three rooms in one, bedroom, bathroom and living room. Still smiling about it now! We thought the drinks and dinner would be expensive due to all this lavishness but again we were pleasantly surprised with it being very reasonable and delicious. Breakfast was included in the price and equally delicious. The staff were all so friendly and happy with nothing being too much trouble. We were only there for one night as a stop over on our journey home from Loch Fyne to Somerset, but wish we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely nothing. We stayed on a Thursday so it was quiet, but as this is a wedding venue it may be busier at weekends.

The historic building was fascinating, with sumptuous wooden features, stained glass and rich furnishings. The gardens were stunningly beautiful and it was so relaxing to sit in the sunshine and enjoy the calm surroundings of the adjacent forest, the birdsong and a cool drink before dinner, The restaurant is excellent and the traditional surroundings did not prepare us for the pleasant surprise of the contemporary menu and the wonderful food. Service was friendly and efficient throughout.

The room was very small and the shower room extremely small. It was also very hot in the room with no air conditioning, nor even a fan.

The location of this hotel is stunning - one of the nicest buildings I have ever been into, it feels so peaceful and has beautiful character. It feels like a place that is loved by its owners and staff. Food and wine both delicious and very pleasant staff too. The bathroom was all recently refitted and very nice and it was a super comfortable bed. This hotel is spotlessly clean, which given it is an older building is a great achievement. I have already booked to return!

Ultimately the room I stayed in will benefit from some updating of the fittings in time. This may have been an issue in a hotel that was less well looked after, however it faded into the background given the overall care and attention to detail.

This was our third stay at Mabie House. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The furnishings are luxurious and the house is beautiful and in a wonderful location. There are great walks, running and cycling routes from the door and into Mabie Forest. Breakfasts are delicious as were the evening meals that were competitively priced.

Our room had a non-panoramic view over the back of the garages but we could see up into the forest. Paintings in the room were Italian and it would have been nice to see some Scottish landscapes instead.

Mabie House Hotel is charming , it’s good to know there are still hotels like this. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely it was large with a very comfy bed with twin aspect windows onto the garden. The hotel is very welcoming and comfortable and the staff were excellent they couldn’t do enough for us . One of the best places I’ve stayed for service and atmosphere better than some 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in. We had our dog with us and the location was perfect for long walks in the forest. Last but by no means least was the food which was delicious we had breakfast and evening meals both days , breakfast was cooked to order and dinner was fab. The price of the food and wine was really reasonable especially for the quality. We’ll definitely return to this quaint country house hotel.

Nothing

We had a brilliant stay at Mabie House Hotel. The staff were excellent and would go out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful and our evening meal was decent. The setting is beautiful and we also enjoyed a lovely walk the Sunday morning. It was nice to meet the hotel dog and parrot.

Our room was too warm but it was a particularly nice evening. Even with the windows open, we were too hot. I even found the dining room in the morning too warm. The fish from my husband's evening meal didn't have much flavour unfortunately.

Superb room overlooking the front gardens with a magnificent view. Really grateful for a room upgrade. Bed was large and comfortable, sheets and room were spotless, and the seating area was excellent. We had an evening meal which was extremely good and breakfast was fine with plenty of choice. Staff were attentive and friendly. A great overnight stay which we thoroughly enjoyed and will return in the future.

Very hard to criticize under the circumstances, but perhaps a walk in shower would have been better in our room.

The check-in process was smooth and speedy. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was very warm. The breakfast was excellent.

The shower was a little fiddly to get the correct temperature. The TV might, perhaps, be a little small for the size of the room. The door to the breakfast room was opened so, when people came and went from the front door, a cold draft came through. There was a hiccup at the check-out process as the staff failed to recognise we had already paid before we arrived! These are minor gripes, they did not distract from the experience.

Beautiful accommodation in quiet, picturesque grounds, a fabulous place to stay. The staff are wonderful, so friendly, attentive and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. My bedroom (15) was excellent, a very large room, good shower and a super comfortable bed. Special mention to the restaurant, the food was superb. I had breakfast every morning and dinner on the last night, every meal there was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The truffle oil and parmesan fries might just be the best fries I've ever had! I will certainly be returning to the Mabie, thank you for making a week working away from home such a relaxed, comfortable, friendly experience.

Nothing! Maybe just add veggie haggis for a breakfast option, but absolutely not a deal breaker!

A lovely location and we stayed in room 15 for 2 nights, which was a lovely spacious room. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming and our breakfasts and evening meals were very good.

Not a dislike just a flag for others. Mindful that the property is a 17th century country house there is no lift and room 15 is on the 2nd floor up 4 flights of stairs. The shower whilst functional is a tad small and to turn on the power there is a pull cord behind the bathroom door. Additionally, the sash window in the bedroom has no catch to keep it open. The room is lovely but do not expect a view. Please don’t let this put you off as we would happily go back.
