Friendly staff, room not up to standard.

Staff were friendly and the room was clean. However, when we came there wasn't any hot water, some of the door handles for the bathroom was broken, the bed was a bit firm which was not to my liking.

Only negative was that we were in the first room on the bottom floor and there was an outside light above the outside door and even with curtains closed it was like sleeping with a light on inside our room,only negative thing as room had everything you need and beds were super comfy.

Lovely hotel but not a great breakfast

Lovely hotel and family suite was clean and spacious. No towels were left out so had to ask for them at reception and this was rectified straight away. Poor breakfast. No vegetarian option so we didnt have much choice. Asked for vegetarian sausages and was told this is something that should have been pre ordered when i booked the hotel. I didnt realise this as all other hotels cater to vegetarians. Disappointing

Crossfords little gem.

The whole of the staff were very friendly and helpful. They also accommodated an early "check in", for us. The food was really good, tasty and presented lovely. The rooms were very clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend a stay.

School report would say : shows promise

A little underwhelming. I booked 3 double rooms for three days as we were working at Knockhill circuit just up the road. All 3 rooms had the same issues. Low water pressure, I was in 215 and it was not that good at all, the time of day never made a difference either. Wifi access, In my room there was no wife access at all I was told I must be out of range. I tries both wife addresses the hotel used but none would reach the room. I could not use my phone as a 'Hot spot" either as at the back of the hotel where the room was had no phone reception . Nice tidy hotel but it's not one I would go to if you have work to do. I also had no desk in my room so no space for a laptop so it was work in the bar or nothing. 6/10 as generally nice tidy and clean, good staff but a few points that bring it down.

I would give zero stars if option to select. Do not book at this poorly run hotel. Booked a family room for 2 Adults and 2 Children. Checked in to find we were given a Room for 2 Adults with one double bed. Made a complaint at reception, but hotel fully booked. Receptionist said room should not have been released to us but no option and they hastily pulled out a sofabed and moved a double bed to the side to accommodate. This meant you could not access wardrobes, shelves or desk and had to crawl over beds to move to the other side of the room. Sofa bed not fit for purpose, mattress very springy and children unable to sleep. To make matters worse, the hotel manager tries to absolve responsibility by saying it was a family room, and they have taken our feedback for future! Absolutely disgusting and appalling behaviour. They clearly don’t put customers first and you can see this at reception where staff are junior and have no authority whatsoever in dealing with complaints effectively or efficiently. When asking for the manager, they are not on site and apparently do not work weekends. Absolute rubbish. We are a principled family and I would hate for this to happen to another family, so they will be hearing from my solicitors for breach of contract. They do not understand who they are dealing with and I will be in this for the long run until a successful conclusion is drawn.

Friendly comfortable hotel

First appearance very good. Reception efficient and helpful. Access to rooms easy by keycard. Evening menu provided a variety of options and were all of a good size and standard. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was disappointing with limited choices. There were no Scottish options available, square sausage and black pudding would have been welcomed. The toasters were very hit and miss with regard to their ability to toast correctly. The main issue was that the radiator in the corridor to our rooms was on full and apparently could not be turned off. When we asked the receptionist about this, we were told that “the control is on an App on a phone and it is not possible to access it”. There was no individual control on the radiator itself. Because it was generally very hot during our stay (heatwave mid-August), this had the effect of heating the rooms which necessitated sleeping with the window wide open to try to make it more comfortable. Fortunately it was very quiet at night.
