Excellent staff, great food, comfortable bed, excellent biscuits etc , quiet. Decent sized bathroom, floor could have been mopped more thoroughly. For a long stay a wardrobe rather than the wall mounted hanging would be required but perfectly OK for a few days.

A gem of a hotel.

The Woodside is easy to find and very well presented. The staff were very friendly and the check in process was very straight forward. The whole hotel gave us a sense it is loved and looked after. It was very clean throughout. Our room was lovely. Just what we needed. High quality, clean, fresh but not over the top. The room was very well equipped and even had a little snack box. It's the little details that make all the difference. We also ate at the restaurant in the evening and had our continental breakfast in the morning. All the food and service was excellent. We'd definitely recommend the Woodside and would not hesitate to stay again.

Stayed one night at The Woodside. Easy check-in. Room was small but all we needed. Nice to have crisps, cholate biscuits, shortbread and water in the room as well as tea and coffee. Breakfast which was included, was first class.

It has Pro's and Con's like everywhere really

Pro's - staff were extremely helpful and the food was exceptional. Nice modern look to the whole building with great paintings. Con's - being above the bar you hear the music bumping until 11pm and this started again at 8:15am for breakfast. Not ideal for anyone stopping by on a journey and needing an early night or light sleepers. A mini fridge would have been useful as well. We would return for food 100% but I dont think we would be staying again.

Top Notch!

As soon as we went to check in we were given a free upgrade. Great start! The room and en-suite bathroom were spotless. The bed and pillows comfortable. We had a lovely meal. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be staying at Woodside again.

Cozy little inn with stylish rooms and a nice bar and restaurant. We enjoyed drinks and snacks at the bar before dinner. If you go on a Sunday please get the Roast! It was delicious as were all the other dishes. You can order off the menu for breakfast. Only downside is there is no elevator so if your bags are heavy be prepared to lug them up the stairs. Was a great stay all in all! Thank you

Best night sleep ever!

We got here earlier than check-in and they were ready for us. Put my head on the pillow intending to go to Stirling Castle and fell asleep! So comfortable! Went downstairs and had delicious dinner and sticky toffee pudding for dessert! The staff were so sweet and welcoming! Loved everything about this stay! And free menu breakfast options and scones and cappuccinos! Best inn on our trip!!
