- Review: Hotel is well signposted from Motorway. It is a bit isolated but convenient to M8\. The checkin was speedy and simple. We ate in the bar and the food was excellent. The lounge was very quite after dinner, no one but ourselves in it so we retired early. The room was very comfortable and spacious and we were glad of the tea/coffee in room., by Collette, 11 April 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent
