The Old Schoolhouse Hotel

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I booked this hotel in good faith while traveling a long distance and needing a place to rest overnight. I arrived just after midnight, only to be told by the manager that I couldn’t check in because of an obscure 8 PM check-in deadline — something hidden in tiny print at the bottom of the third reservation email. There was no clear warning during booking and no flexibility. I was left with no other option but to sleep in my van. This is not how you treat paying guests. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being stranded and treated with zero understanding or basic hospitality.

Easy to book with easy check in clean room and comfortable beds

There is no bar or restaurant as advertised, the property is up for sale and looks sorry for itself now. Could not connect to WiFi even though it says it had, so could not carry out my work. Rooms smell stale but it was clean I will give them that, not an enjoyable stay.

Basic but great. No food in the evening and very very basic self service diy breakfast. Dinner best at nearby Radisson. Breakfast on the road.

This was just an overnight stop, but I would recommend the hotel highly. The room and bathroom were excellent and the bed was very comfortable.
The self service buffet breakfast was very generous
Such a shame that the owners can’t operate the bar/restaurant anymore due to energy costs.

Local to motorway which can be heard. Breakfast does not include toast and preserves.

As usual very nice and spotlessly clean and super for parking

Noise due to proximity to M74 motorway. Room had damp patch on roof. There was a constant drpping sound. And there was a massive green fire escape light which lit up the room all night.

Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great.

Lovely property, very comfortable beds, ideal locatio.

Lovely convenient hotel next to the motorway, room was fantastic, big, clean with a very large bed. Only downside is that it’s advertised as breakfast included and it was only a few pastries, fruit and a choice off 3 cereals. There were tea/coffee but you had to make everything yourself as the whole dining room was unmanned. Shame really and shouldn’t be advertised as breakfast included. Only had apple juice cartons in fridge, no orange juice. The only time we seen anyone was when we arrived and then we had to ring the door bell for someone to check us in, disappointed in the breakfast.

Not very welcoming

Positives = clean room with good bed and decent shower, plus good parking.
Negatives = check in closes at 8pm, corridors had a bit of an odour(!), breakfast was very disappointing (choice of 2 cereals, boxed apple juice or tea/coffee made by yourself. Some shop purchased pastries in their airtight plastic wrapper and an apple or tangerine.

The hotel was basically closed. There was myself and another couple staying at the hotel. There were no staff on site. We were given key to access hotel and another key to access our room. The restaurant is closed. The site advertises breakfast included. This was very limited as shown in pictures. The kitchen was closed so no access to the toaster. Breakfast was cereal (choice of 3) fruitjuice (choice of one), yoghurts. There was a 4pt of milk in the chiller. 2 bananas and 2 apples, a few random biscuits , flapjacks and chocolate croissants. The rooms were clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable with a wet room & shower. Myself and the other couple were put at opposite ends of the hotel on 2 different floors even though we knew one another and had gone up to Larkhall for the same event. Photographs of restaurant and coffee shop need to be removed from the site. It needs to state limited breakfast available. If guests had any food allergies Dairy or Gluten then breakfast would be out of the question for them with the limited choice. The location of the hotel is ideal with ample parking. I understand the owners are looking to retire. It would be a pity to see the hotel close fully. I would have been very worried if I had turned up there on my own to stay and had been the only one staying there.

Great service thank you Richard

Richard really looked after me, super friendly

Enjoyed my stay here. Suggest trying to get a room facing the Courtyard. Some may find the traffic noise disturbing. Great bathroom in my room with a king bed. Had a spa!

Great location, good parking big room and staff are great. Would stay again

Lovely food, the staff were great,

When booked the information indicated limited food service for guests + bar (open to public limited days), on arrival told hotel on winter break, no food, bar or even vending machine. Reception was abrupt/rude. No indication of facilities nearby, takeaway etc.no attempt made, most unhelpful. Steps on entry/exit (different) iced & dangerous, reception unmanned, had to leave building to ring ext bell for assistance. Tv remote missing. Large comfy bed but small room. Very clean, limited lighting in room, sensor activated elsewhere. Very disappointed with ignorant attitude. Cant see how this merits many stars, what criteria was used.

Clean and comfortable, except that the room was a tad small. There was no WiFi in the room, had to go to the bar to connect. Food in the restaurant/bar was very good.
