Really special place. Great stay if you want to feel pampered. Room was great with a nice spacious balcony.
Pros:

Stunning setting. Blantyre never looked so good!

Cons:

Nothing really. Some building work going on, but no big deal. There is no pool on site, but aware they are building a spa.

Foverans Lunch Disappointing
Pros:

We went with friends for lunch in Forverans restaurant.
Service for a 5 star hotel was poor. Left standing for 5 mins before someone came to take our coats and show us to the table. When our friends arrived we had to wait on a drinks order being taken and only after we caught the attention of staff.
The food we ate was good but the menu is very limited . We live locally but will not be back as not a big enough choice on the menu. Drinks on the expensive side.

The property would benefit a covered walkway. Consider priortising your customers who pay extra for your old rooms. And
Pros:

Its charm and character - the staff were really nice people.

Cons:

Having to walk from the main castle to the new dining room in the rain for breakfast. Also the lack of apology for the false fire alarm through the night. Having to wait 15mins for the receptionist who was having to sort out breakfast room service for another client, to check us out (we didn’t even know that was possible until we checked out - would have saved us getting wet!)

Disappointing
Pros:

Was a brunch soul afternoon service was awful no staff , what little staff there were chaotic. Food services was good but had to ask for utensils. Was not organised. If having a wedding would check out drinks service first. Also tried to get rid of us as they wanted to close venue

Great afternoon tea choice
Pros:

Took my mum for a mother's day afternoon tea, an excellent experience. Our first time at Crossbasket. The food was lovely, home made and not too much. Beautifully decorated and lovely grounds, unfortunately still too cold to walk around in March but will return in warmer weather!

Wellness Day
Pros:

Thoroughly enjoyed my day and left feeling the best I had been in ages.
Stuart and Clare were so friendly and worked well together making the day very streamlined in the activities.
Enjoyed trying out journaling, yoga, sound bath and breathing techniques.
As well as plenty of refreshments and a lovely lunch.
Our group jelled really well and quickly making the atmosphere relaxing and comfortable.
I will definitely be rebooking.

Relaxing Wellness Day
Pros:

I attended the Wellness day after a panic attack and really needed to reset my central nervous system, and this day at Crossbasket Castle was just what I needed. We started with a welcoming spritz and some guided journaling, I’ve never been one for journaling but I wrote about 17 pages full ha! Then moved through deep breathing, somatic movement, Wim Hof breathing techniques, yoga, and finished off with a relaxing sound bath —it was exactly what my mind and body needed.

For lunch there was a help-yourself deconstructed Caesar salad, soup, sandwiches, and trays of fresh fruit, which felt nourishing without being heavy. As a coeliac, I couldn’t eat much and was worried about cross-contamination, having my own individual lunch would have been safer, but the others absolutely loved it.

Clare and Stuart led the day with such kind, friendly natures, listening to what we needed and adapting the day to suit us. I left feeling calmer, more in control, and with some lovely new friends. Highly recommend!

Foverans Restaurant
Pros:

We visited Foverans recently and had a mixed experience overall. The biggest positive was the food — it was absolutely amazing and very good value for money. The quality of the meal itself was hard to fault.

Unfortunately, the service let the visit down. The staff looked quite miserable and the overall service felt poor. Our cutlery had not been properly reset, there was a dirty napkin on the table, and we had to keep asking about the gluten free options rather than being given clear information from the start.

The gluten free choice was also disappointing, with very limited options available — being told I could have a prawn cocktail was not ideal.

It’s a shame, because the food and pricing were both so good, but the lack of attention to detail and poor service took the shine off the visit.
