Nettes Hotel mit gutem Frühstück
Pros:

Bereits das 4. Mal Gast und wie immer war es ein schöner Aufenthalt mit tollem Frühstück. Betten sind sehr komfortabel

Cons:

In den Nebengebäuden muss man tagsüber immer die Jalousien zumachen, da sonst jeder bei den Fenstern und verglasten Türen reinschauen kann, was leider dann das Tageslicht aussperrt.

Pros:

Hotel bar and restaurant were lovely, staff were excellent.
Food was a little expensive for the quality but the service was really good.
Grounds and communal areas were well maintained and clean

Cons:

Room - only 1 cup in the room for 2 guests, the bathroom wasn't fully clean (part used complimentary body wash). Shower was powerful but a little temperamental, the reading lights didn't work.

Jó ár-érték arányú szállás a környék látnivalóinak felfedezéséhez.
Pros:

Jól felszerelt szálloda, autóval könnyen elérhetőek a környék látnivalói. A reggeli finom és bőséges, étlapról válaszható ételekkel. A szoba tágas, a fürdő korszerű. Az ágy kellően kényelmes volt.

Cons:

A két személyes ágy csak 140 cm széles volt, jobb lett volna 160-as. A szoba szépen fel van újítva, kár, hogy a szobák ajtaját nem cserélték.

Pleasant staff but very disappointed with the standard and comfort of the room.
Pros:

The communal areas were very nice, modern and clean.

Cons:

The room was very old fashioned and the beds were tiny. Not big enough for a taller couple.

basic
Pros:

simple, clean. good restaurant (on a different, adjoining building)

Cons:

The room was in an annex, close to the street, with a separate and independent entrance. The building could use some updating.

Surprised!
Pros:

This hotel is in walking distance for me and I have been in it many times over the years . I like to support local when I can so while out a walk,I thought I would nip in just to buy a snack and a can of juice. So let's break it down for people.
LOCATION: -
Great location! Just off the M80 motorway ,easy access on and off the main motorway network with a petrol station a short distance away. Would provide a great base for exploring the central belt of Scotland ....and if you are an Outlander fan, then it is literally along the road from Wardpark Studios.
PARKING:- Decent car park with ample room for parking.
RESTAURANT:- There is a bar / restaurant on site. I cannot comment on the food as I didn't eat in the venue. The staff were pleasant though.
DECOR:- From the areas I saw, the venue is well presented. It has had an overhaul and been redecorated recently as it was bought over so much needed improvements have been done and it looks lovely. Restaurant/ bar is clean and fresh.
PRICES:- Well, as I said, I only popped in on the way past as I was out walking.....now I know that prices have increased but a standard packet of cheese and onion crisps and a can or diet irn bru??? £5.45! I was stunned! For another £1.05, I could have had a bowl of soup 🤣 x
