We have stayed quite a few times in the Dakota when visiting Scotland. Once again the hotel looked very festive, every member of staff was so helpful and friendly, especially the airport shuttle driver Craig. Well done Dakota another 10/10. We upgraded to exec and the champagne each night was a lovely touch. See you all again soon.
