Room for much improvement

Very slow service at dinner. Housekeeping terrible. Toilet not cleaned, dirty towels not replaced. Very little hot water one evening. All first floor areas were hot and stuffy. We had to keep a fan(provided) on all night and day to keep the temperature bearable

Adequate for a short stay

On arrival reception confirmed that the stay had been paid however when checking out we were given a bill and told the full cost was outstanding. We did dispute this and have records to show payment but ended up having to pay again. We will now have to wait for a refund through no fault of our own. This was a system error and have to say staff were not rude or difficult. The room was fine in that it had all amenities needed but it was stifling hot, made worse by the small size. Each time we entered the room, there was also a smell of damp. We ate at the hotel and the food was delicious. The grounds were lovely.

Lovely old property, well looked after. Well positioned for touring. Very professional and friendly staff. Only downside was that we had a ground floor room which proved noisy late at night and early morning because of comings and goings in the corridor outside our room

Sadly, this property needs a complete renovation especially the room we were given 111 !! Firstly a very uncomfortable sprung mattress which was moving everytime I turned so one hours sleep in total!, secondly creaking floorboards in the floor above as well as ours and in the corridor where people were banging doors into the small hours!! Finally at 6.30 am I had to wake my husband as the filthy head board was severely tipping towards our heads.. a tragedy waiting to happen…. The utter disgrace was the mess behind the headboard of years of congealed dust!! Scottish hospitality at its worst!! It could be a fabulous place if someone just stepped it up a gear Definitely NOT 4* not even 2 !! Breakfast was really lacklustre with soggy toast, not freshly baked pastries as advertised The manager Gwen wanted to refund our stay saying it was all totally unacceptable but couldn’t as I had booked through Expedia. Expedia please help with this!!

Thainstone house

Hotel was lovely but unfortunately nothing like the pictures on their web site the pool area is really dated chose this hotel for the spa facilities and there was no hot tub in use which was disappointing due to the money spent. Had to change room after first night of lack of sleep due to the bed spent the night in the middle as couldn’t get out of it. Would not come back in a hurry
