The hotel is remote and access roads are full of pot holes...take it slow! The hotel is dated and overpriced. The bedrooms are small and very tired looking. The bathroom wasnt clean and needs to be replaced. For one night it is ok, especially after a long drive, if you like 70/80's decor then this is for you.

Tired hotel. Avoid at peak times with kids/ dogs
Quite old fashioned hotel . Lovely inside and grand however rooms quite dated and tired in places. Bathroom especially dated and no luxuries at all. The hotel had a coach party in and service was quite slow. Luckily had some drinks in car as no service and no dogs allowed in bar area ! Wouldnt recommend for single parent with kids. Staff were helpful when asked and had time but unable to see to everyone. Compared to other hotels for.same money would not.use again . Breakfast was great and really enjoyed it. Small selection but nice.

The hotel must've been impressive in it's hayday but the room we were allocated was somewhat rundown and inferior to those in the photos in the listing. Good breakfast and nice walks nearby.

Worth a visit
I opted for the half board option and the food was delicious and the portions more than generous. The staff were very friendly. The dog friendly rooms are in a chalet detached from the hotel which was disapointing but atleast there is plenty of countryside around to walk a dog. Infact, the hotel is surrounded by nature and the property is stunning.

We have stayed here before and love the hotel. The only problem this time was that bar food is advertised and on the first full day we asked and were told there was none on offer.We had no alternative than to pay for one main course each. More food than we wanted at a much higher price.

Hotel was very nice but old and could use some updating. Its in middle of nowhere with literally 2 miles of drive on narrow road in fields with no buildings in site. This did make it quiet. There was a nature trail that we did not have time to explore. It was convenient location for us as a stop on drive between Glascow and Liverpool

Put in a room that allows pets without asking if it's ok. The room stank like a fusty old couch that was left mouldy for 30 years. Bugs all over the place. The room was completely run down, absolutely shocking for the money we spent. we were changed rooms just to be put in a hot box with no cooling or fan or even shower, then had to lissen to staff banging for 2 hours couldn't sleep a wink NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
