Review of The New Drumossie Hotel

Have had so many wonderful experiences at the Drum...

Have had so many wonderful experiences at the Drumossie Hotel over many years, so it was a lovely surprise when our son came up from Edinburgh to take us out for an Anniversary treat for afternoon tea........so sad... not the usual standard at all! Had to find our own way to the Grill as no one around to direct us, waitress greeted us and asked for our coupon , we did not have one and were disappointed to find that if we did our tea would have been half price!
We explained it was a special treat but the waitress was not interested. We were served tomato soup without being asked if we wanted it, the waitress did not ask about dietary requirements, (I have allergies, and am vegetarian) we were served ham, smoked salmon and tuna! We were not offered an alternative when I told her what I could not eat. The only choice we got was tea or coffee? My son had to look for the waitress when it came to pay and was then told to pay at reception. All in all I give 2 stars only because I had a lovely time with my son (for his all too short visit) and could not fault the scones and cakes provided and the others enjoyed the sandwiches.
