I cannot understand why this is a four star hotel ! It does not have a proper dining room. Dinner in a dark and dingy bar and breakfast in a cafe. It is not properly licenced either. The bar closes at 9pm. I only found this out when I returned from a gig in Lanark at 10.30 hoping for a beer, only to find it locked up. I will not be going back and I certainly will not recommend it to anyone.

Comfy stay

This was just an overnight stop, but I would recommend the hotel highly. The room and bathroom were excellent and the bed was very comfortable. The self service buffet breakfast was very generous Such a shame that the owners can’t operate the bar/restaurant anymore due to energy costs.

Absolutely loved this hotel, the owner and staff are so friendly and accommodating. In fact the owner went above and beyond for us - on our first stay they didn't have any sea bream but he got some in especially for our return trip a few days later even though it wasn't his normal day for fish delivery! Very happy to recommend and we will definitely stay here again if we travel to Scotland

Exceptional stay, couldnt fault it

Stayed for one night and it was really lovely! Couldn't fault our stay, the owners were lovely, friendly and very chatty! Made us feel so welcome! Room was spacious, clean and modern, the bath in the room is amazing! We had a meal here too and was some of the best food we've had in a long time, had the steak pie and there wasnt a bit of fat in it, all amazing cuts of beef, pie crust was nice and buttery, veg was cooked to perfection! My partner had the Chicken Balmoral which was just as amazing as mine! Whole stay was worth every penny, We will defos be back!

Good hotel but couple of problems.

Noise due to proximity to M74 motorway. Room had damp patch on roof. There was a constant drpping sound. And there was a massive green fire escape light which lit up the room all night. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great.

If you want just a clean bed it’s fine, otherwise

Positives = clean room with good bed and decent shower, plus good parking. Negatives = check in closes at 8pm, corridors had a bit of an odour(!), breakfast was very disappointing (choice of 2 cereals, boxed apple juice or tea/coffee made by yourself. Some shop purchased pastries in their airtight plastic wrapper and an apple or tangerine.

There is no bar or restaurant as advertised, the property is up for sale and looks sorry for itself now. Could not connect to WiFi even though it says it had, so could not carry out my work. Rooms smell stale but it was clean I will give them that, not an enjoyable stay.
