First of all, to the last reviewer (eatoff), we stayed there the same night you did, and for the weekend for our wedding. Maybe you walk around in a plastic bubble at home to avoid contamination? Or, perhaps you are the type that expects everything to be perfect all the time? Either way I hope others ignore your review, our... More

It was great to get to Fountaindale Grand Manor after a day at Brigadoon, and our dinner awaiting was top class scottish food, we were entertained and had a great time, with a old fashioned sing a long with some traditional scottish songs. It was all most enjoyable, we loved the accomodation and the magnificent views, and embraced it with... More

My partner and I stayed there for two nights for celebrate a friend's wedding. Now, after reading all of these reviews, we were utterly terrified. However, we walked in to a room that clearly needs a lot work, and said "we can deal with this". The only thing I kept thinking over and over again was "this has SO much... More

The room was absolutely terrible. We were told it had in room heating, it didn't. It had heating blankets, they weren't plugged in and we had to search the room for a power point to plug them in ourselves. One of the shared bathrooms was in such a horrible condition we couldn't use it. The other was not much better.... More

Hi Carol here. So sorry your experience was seen in this light. We don't often open our doors to individual travellers and sadly this is the reason why. We found when we first purchased Fountaindale that the appreciation of the history and the effort we are undertaking to restore her to her former glory is somehow missed in the translation... More

I stayed here for a wedding recently and was pleasantly surprised. It definately has great character and the wedding was well handled. Most of the staff were very helpful and we had a great time. The only negative was about a certain staff member whose hospitality skills were almost non existent. She jumped down our throats about a small matter... More

We were lucky enough to attend a week long conference at Fountaindale in November 2011. Our experience was amazing. The grounds were lovely, though I didn't see a peacock, the rooms were comfortable, the food was excellent at all times and the staff were friendly. We also did a murder mystery while we were and this really added to the... More

As a family with two young daughters who love animals and like to run around, Fountaindale appeared to be the perfect retreat. The building itself and the grounds are incredibly lovely, although the (very expensive) room we stayed in was quite rundown. The bathroom was basic, with minimal toiletries, and the king size bed creaked and poked us in the... More

Carol here. My original response to this entry was deleted by Trip Advisor as apparently I did not fill out the owners form-however they did not take into account our request to remove this entry even though we can provide both proof of stays and witnesses. I have again contacted Trip Advisor, requesting they look into the situation. I contacted... More

The High Tea at Fountaindale was an truly delightful experience. Set in the art deco lounge room, it was so good to see that lovely old building being restored to its former glory. The silver service was of a high standard, but still managed to be personable. Many of the cakes as well as the scones and jams which we... More

The house has peacocks, grand gardens and a truly grand heritage feel. We had a great wedding there with a huge fire and the manor has its own train station (albeit a tiny unused one) and grounds for kids to explore. The rooms are LEGIT art deco from the 20's - original pieces and layouts. totally awesome. Pack warm though... More

As a local decided to try (with friends) the Sunday afternoon 'High Tea'. What a grand revellation right on our doorstep. Superbly catered silver service in a fantastic old world lounge room. Requires advance booking. Value plus excellent service. Can thoroughly recommend this venue.
