There were 4 of us in the party and we all had a positive experience at Willowbankl
Pros:

The breakfast was lovely and it was nice to have table service. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room was spotless.

Cons:

Probably if I was being picky the room was a wee but dated but that wouldn’t put me off returning. Everything that mattered to me ie the staff the cleanliness and the food were very good. Nearly forgot the bed was comfortable too.

A Happy Experience
Pros:

Location was away from the centre of the town so it was quieter which I liked. Very near a bus stop. A short walk to the promenade. Good choice of evening meal and generous portions. Bedroom and bathroom good size and staff friendly.

Cons:

Nothing.

Lovely stay
Pros:

We stayed 3 days mid June. Hotel was very clean, food was lovely (heads up to the chef!) We’ll definitely go back for a meal.
A big shout out to Linda who was so helpful and friendly. Also to Linda’s partner and to Ian, the manager, both of whom helped us with our suitcases. The hotel was quiet during our stay which suited us. All staff including housekeeping were lovely. Only drawbacks (for us) were that we found both the shower & tv just too small - and the duvets way too heavy - lighter duvets were not available. Other than that we appreciated the quiet and the old fashioned charm and will definitely be popping back for dinner.

Dated interiors, but comfortable with very warm service
Pros:

I stayed in a small double room, room only, for one midweek night in June and paid £100.

The hotel is undeniably dated, especially the bedroom décor, bar/lounge and bathroom fittings. The room would benefit from modernisation, particularly more accessible plug sockets, as I could only see one under the desk. The TV was tiny, although it worked, and the shower was old-fashioned, with separate hot and cold controls rather than a thermostatic mixer.

However, if you look past the dated appearance, I found it reasonable for a 3-star hotel. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water, once adjusted. Wi-Fi was available and fast enough for YouTube streaming.

I did not have breakfast as I was room only, but I did eat in the hotel in the evening. The food was simple rather than refined, but it arrived piping hot and was perfectly acceptable. The hostess could not have been nicer, and the welcome was very warm.

Overall, this is not a modern or stylish hotel, and it clearly needs investment, but it was clean enough, comfortable, functional, and genuinely friendly. On that basis, I felt it deserved a positive review, provided future guests understand that the rooms are traditional and dated rather than contemporary.
