Booked because price was appealing, however unless you book direct, there is a £20pp fee to use the spa facilities which bumps the price up anyway. Room was ok, confortable but very Premier Inn like. Food at dinner was lovely, service at breakfast was terrible. There are other hotels in the area that are much better value for money.

Overpriced. I honestly think this hotel charges so much purely because they have a spa and golf course, the rooms certainly don't reflect the price.

Don’t Stay at Gailes Hotel

Customer service terrible. Rooms were dated and facilities were two star. Was asked to pay £40 for a swim. That was after paying £200 for a basic room. No Smart TV - unbelievable. Hotel overpriced and over rated.

Top marks for Keiran the chef!

AMAZING!!! The restaurant team were simply the best. We had our 7 year old grandson with us who has autism, and the staff went well over and above for us. George spoke to him, Keiran the chef came out of the kitchen to see him. Truly exceptional and in his words “the best night ever”. Service goes a long way and this whole team nailed it, even with our annoyingly awkward requests with our meals. We love a night away and I have not experienced service like this for a long time. The management team should be proud of a truly exceptional front of house team, and of course a special mention to Keiran for making it a night to remember.
