Good food in the restaurant. Shockingly poor accommodation.
Pros:

Dinner in the restaurant was very good and the staff helpful and pleasant

Cons:

The skirting boards/carpet/walls/shower were dirty with chipped paintwork and peeling wallpaper. The beds (2 single) were extremely soft and uncomfortable. The room desperately needs an upgrade. We stayed two years ago in one of the upper level room which, although tired, was not to the same degree as the lower level room we were allocated this time.
We will not return!

Great stay at reasonable price
Pros:

The room we had was in clean and well kept. The shower had great pressure which meant for a very relaxing wash.
We liked that our room was away from the main hotel building, especially as there was an event on which meant our stay was unaffected by the noise.

Cons:

Nothing that we can think of

Good location for visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and the Kelpies
Pros:

Well equipped modern spacious room that was recently refurbished. Well equipped modern bathroom. Onsite restaurant serving good food, good choice at breakfast. Good location for visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and the Kelpies.

Cons:

Some bedrooms in a separate building, our bed was uncomfortable as could feel the springs. Bathroom down stairs from sleeping area would have benefitted from an automatic low light for night-time visits.

Good overnight stop close to major routes heading north
Pros:

Check in was quick with a pleasant member of staff. We were allocated "cottages" external to the hotel building which is what I had been hoping for. These are great self-contained individual units, ideal for an overnight stay. We were able to use the restaurant for an evening meal without a prior booking which was very helpful.

Cons:

There was some road and wind noise in one of the cottages so the double-glazing could be improved in some rooms. The other cottage was almost silent despite being closer to the road.

Just a bit noisy with cars ftom the car park, but not a major problem.

Stay was OK & staff friendly, main reception / bar & restaurant nice, but the rooms need some TLC
Pros:

Staff were friendly enough and the Hotel itself was OK and the main reception, Bar, Breakfast and restaurant / evening meal were good, so from a 'Facilities' point of view it was OK and wouldn't fault anything

Cons:

My actual hotel room was very tired looking and could do with a serious upgrade / decorating and the ensuite was the same, very old, tired and in need of some TLC, the bed was very hard too.

Pros:

Large room, very comfy bed.

Cons:

What attracted me to the the Hotel was that they provided a laundry service, so I weet out of my way and payed extra compaired to similar Hotels. I was on a week long journey and needed to get my clothed cleaned. When I arrived I was told I couldn't use the laundry facilities as I was only styaing one night. It was not advitised that this would be the case when I booked my reservation. I might have well booked a cheeper hotel and went to a launromat instead.
