Aly & Greg ##### Greg Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Quick overnight stay Great hotel in a good location. Lovely staff. Good food - evening meal and breakfast. Room had a few snags but easily sorted with help of owner. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Iain 13 Jun 2024 Geeting bit dated and run down. A stodgy and traditional Scottish Hotel. Not my taste, But others may really like this. ##### Iain Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Peter 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Requires refurbishing. Fabulous grounds but the hotel itself is in need of serious refurbishment. Our room still had wood chip wallpaper on the walls. That said the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Scott 6 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities No hot water for a shower and had to ask for heating to be put on in the room, our stay was November. Very cold and draughty hotel. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The first family room was smelling of damp, towels were very damp, individual shower gels were empty& left in shower. Pubic hair on the toilet seat. There were 3 staying, only 2 mugs & the glass had toothpaste in the bottom of it. We were really looking forward to our stay. Heard the food was great, just didn't take the chance & ate elsewhere. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 5 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### A disappointing overnight stay The worst overnight stay my wife and i ever had cleanliness was appalling dog poo bin at front door smelt terrible had to ask for it to be cleaned windows filthy outside area very unkempt asked to be moved from bedroom looking out on the roof of the kitchen i could go on this hotel should be closed until it has a full make over ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Scottish independent hospitality Quick check in, room very spacious though could do with a few more hangers. Looks recently refurbished carpet and headboard and bed very comfy. TV on bracket has good swivel so can be viewed both in bed or from the sofa or chairs. Would benefit from a large bulb in the bedroom center light. Bathroom bit small and the shower cuts out a lot of the light from the basin. Food all freshly cooked to order and the curry dishes should not be missed - all excellent authentic with delicate spicing, not burning hot as some can be. Breakfast again cooked to order and served at the table other than juice and toast. ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
