Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were friendly and helpful, the room had some issues that needed attention. The location was convenient for my journey, but the dining options were limited.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, despite needing a bit of a makeover, were of a good size with a large bed, though some areas felt like a 'rabbit warren' filled with old furniture. The service was fantastic, with small touches like being driven to an event instead of taking a taxi, and everyone being pleasant and helpful. The location in a lovely area of Scotland between Glasgow and Edinburgh was great, albeit the room feeling a bit tired and in need of updating. The dining experience was varied, with some dishes being a delight but others on the ungenerous side. However, the well-refurbished restaurant and bright ambiance added to the charm. Facilities met expectations and additional details highlight both positive and negative aspects clearly.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but a bit cramped with the furniture. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing good service. The location was perfect for my needs, and the modern interior was a plus. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options.
