Fantastic, Peaceful Hotel
Such a comfortable bed, room was immaculate, staff were superb and so friendly and helpful. As I was leaving each morning before breakfast was served I was given to option of a breakfast bag which contained plenty to keep you going till lunch. All facilities are excellent and kept to extremely high standards.

Perfect for my son and me. We really enjoyed playing tennis, using the pool and gym. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated it being made to order. Room was pretty tired, but it was fine for our purposes. A great stay for the price.

2/10 Poor

Avoid at All Costs – A Nightmare Stay
Start to finish, my stay was nothing short of a disaster. I have a feather allergy and had messaged the hotel pre-arrival to ensure the room would be prepared accordingly. Yet, walked in to find feather pillows on the bed. Two replacement pillows I was given were a joke—one was lumpy as hell, and the other was paper-thin I had to stack towels underneath to get any support. The bed itself, a torture device—lumpy springs poking through the mattress, a huge dip in the middle, and zero comfort. Add to that a freezing cold room where the heaters barely worked even on full blast. I ended up shivering through both nights. Cleanliness? Non-existent. Dust everywhere, carpets were filthy, and I kept my shoes on until I got into bed because the floor was so disgusting. The bathroom—when I lifted a “fresh” towel to my face, I was greeted with brown stains. I don’t even want to imagine what they were. A skylight in the bathroom was covered in dead insects, just to add to the nightmare. The room was damp—clearly, the hotel knows this, as there were three damp collectors in the closet and two plug-in air fresheners desperately trying (and failing) to mask the stench. Top it all off, the breakfast server smashed my plate by accident, and when I asked to be moved after the first night, I was flat-out denied. If I hadn’t booked a non-refundable rate, I would have left immediately, but instead, I had to endure two miserable nights of hell. Do yourself a favour—stay literally anywhere else

Defo return can’t fault hotel and staff
Great stay, close to train station to get to Edinburgh. The breakfast was prefect, order what you want from the menu and it’s all fresh and the service was amazing, can’t recommend this hotel enough, will defo be back, if I would change anything it would be the bed was 2 singles put together so could feel the gap so was just like sleeping in single bed even tho we are married and I would prefer a single bed for my daugther not just a pull out bed. But other then that was a fab stay

Superb room,food & staff - dreadful leisure centre
Hotel and room was superb and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The staff were superb, particularly the reception staff that couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was excellent and my partners dietary requirements were well looked after. If you are just looking for a room and dining hotel it’s a must not miss. The thing that lets it down awfully are the really poor standards in the leisure suite. The changing room was dirty, the toilet cubicle was filthy, the shower area was really grimey, the sauna clearly hadn’t been cleaned as there was clumps of long brown hair on the floor and in the gaps in the slats, the large metal posts at the bottom of the swimming pool that held the pool cover and coated in rust, I stepped out of the way of a running unsupervised child and put my hand on one to balance and my hand was literally coated in rust. Kids were everywhere and largely not supervised pulling the drain covers up and chucking them into the pool and running round it. Please note the leisure facilities aren’t exclusive for the users of the hotel, they have private members and it’s rowdy and under supervised at weekends, definitely one area to avoid.

Freezing
The only.negative I have to say is this place is freezing . My room took 4 hours to get to room temp with the heater on full. The bar was bitterly cold and I sat in front of the open fire that made no difference. The staff were amazing and worked very hard.
