"Currently service at the Thainstone House Hotel is falling far short of expectations and leaving guests such as ourselves disappointed. The staff at the hotel work incredibly hard and are polite despite the pressures they are under. However too few staff meant that we encountered numerous service issues. For example, at breakfast there was a 10 – 15 minute wait for a table, food stuffs unavailable from the buffet, numerous uncleared tables and almost no staff around to take your order. Staffing in the evening was similarly problematic. Perhaps the crowning glory of an underwhelming experience was when, on Saturday night we were told we could not order cocktails as there was no-one on duty who knew how to make them. Although the hotel is taking bookings on its web site for its fine dining restaurant, it is closed to guests and all meals are served in the hotel bar. Ironically, after you have eaten in the bar, you receive an email asking you for feedback on your dining experience in the Green Lady. One reason we chose the Thainstone House was because of the restaurant. Knowing it is not available and to keep advertising it, is a questionable business practice. Sadly nothing in this post appears new, other guests have made similar points - having now stayed there, I understand why it is compared to Fawlty Towers"

"Really nice hotel with ample parking and lovely staff. Manager was great too"

"This is a lovely, quiet place to stay that feels secluded but was close to everything. Get acquainted with European appliances before you go. And there were some things that we needed i.e. napkins and kitchen roll that weren't provided. Gorgeously appointed, but be aware there's only one shower in two bathrooms. "

"Fantastic property in a quiet area, not far from walks and surrounding destinations. Excellent transport links and public transport. We were visiting family and found the property very comfortable and the garden was a good size too. Enough space out the front for 2 cars. Would definitely stay again! "

"Blythewood House was absolutely amazing. The house is decorated to a high standard and the open plan design was perfect for a large group. The house has all you need. We had brilliant weather and so the garden, hot tub and games room was well used. The hot tub and BBQ area was well heated and so even in colder days it’s perfect. The area itself was also great, a local park, shop and pub all about a 2 minute walk away. Everyone had a brilliant time."
