One night stay

Stayed one night at MacDonald Hotel. The hotel was nice enough but could do with a little freshen up. For example all of the printed information/ brochures in the room were very old and battered, which wouldn't take much to reprint them. And the information sheet given over at reception was a very badly photocopied sheet. Just little things that would expect to be updated regularly. The spa is also managed separately from the main hotel with separate receptions. Room service food, breakfast, and afternoon tea food was all good and staff were very friendly.

Shame as it could be amazing

Hotel could be (and probably was 10 years ago) amazing, but now very, very tired and very worn. Old fixtures and fittings, just looks neglected and not of a decent standard. Breakfast absolutely abysmal, hardly any food at the buffet and not regularly restocked, staff tried their best mind. Grounds lovely, best part of the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful!!

Good location

Stayed as a family of 4 with bed and breakfast on Easter Sunday. Our daughters received Easter Eggs when we checked in which was a nice touch! Really friendly and help-full staff!! We had a family room which was a good size and beds were comfortable. Room needed updating but was clean. We used the pool which was absolutely freezing and could not stay in too long due to it being too cold. Did not have dinner at the hotel, menu was not that great so we drove into Livingston which has numerous eateries to pick from. Had the cooked breakfast the next morning was almost inedible. Brick hard potato scone, mushy black pudding, watery mushroom, overcooked poached egg, cold bacon, tasteless sausages and no beans left!! The continental selection was a lot better! Location of hotel is good for shopping in Livingston and for visiting Five Sisters zoo.

2/10 Poor

Lied to us

Oddly I cannot comment on this hotel as when we arrived we were told there had been an incident in our room that afternoon and we could not stay there, but they had booked us into another Mcdonald hotel 20 minutes away. We fud seem to have much choice so repacked our car and drove 29 minutes in the wrong direction. The hotel we ended up at was called Falkirk but was actually in Grangemouth in to the refinery, nothing like the Scottish manor House we had just left. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the food good but not the same. We also found we had been lied to: 1. It wasn't an issue with the room as 5 rooms had been moved to the other hotel, overbooked maybe! 2. They said they had tried to contact us but they were no calls, messages, texts on our phones Not a great experience.
