Glencaple Holidays from £239

We found this a bit of a mixed experience. As we arrived very late, we only noticed the exterior the next morning. The building is clearly a 1960/70s structure, and the concrete architecture is quite stark and not particularly appealing. However, It’s clear the hotel is in the process of being refurbished, with the entrance and hallways already completed to a very high standard—they feel grand and welcoming. Unfortunately, this doesn’t quite carry through to all of the rooms. While our room had clearly had some updates, such as fresh paint and relatively new tiles in the bathroom, other areas felt quite dated. In particular, the bathroom overall could benefit from a full upgrade, and the rug in the room was well past its best and would be better removed. The furniture was dated too. That said, we do appreciate that refurbishing a large property takes time, and improvements don’t happen overnight. However, it might make more sense for bedrooms to be prioritised, as they have the biggest impact on guests’ overall experience. We didn’t have the opportunity to try the food or use any of the facilities, as this was a last-minute booking following a delayed flight, so we can’t comment on those aspects.

Easy booking. Not too far from the city centre and attractions.

The rooms were clean and spacious and had been recently renovated. Breakfast was delicious (but not included in the price). We enjoyed the musical jam session in then pub the evening we were there.

Luxury hotel with everything you could ask for. Had an amazing stay!

Check in was efficient, staff very helpful and attentive. A stunning place with lots of quiet spaces. The breakfast was superb. It is however a bit jaded though. The blind in the room was broken and tap needed replaced. Overall it was a lovely experience and well worth the money paid
