"We decided a night away was in order as we wanted to do Christmas shopping without fuss and it's been a long time since we've had a night away. So.. Checkin was fine. We received welcome pack detailing WiFi , checkout etc Then came time to go to our room, this is where the review starts. We were situated on the bottom floor, room or So we go through two security doors and to what feels like the hotels dirty secret as this was a small corridor tucked away at the rear next to a security door that made you jump from inside your room each time someone used it. So once inside the room we are greeted to a very pleasant, clean room with one major issue. Where is the view? Oh there isn't one. Instead we open the curtains to discover a red and black brick walled courtyard of sorts. Now I know a view isn't always a guarantee but I'll get to that So we drop in our bags and leave to do the last of our shopping and enjoy the time away from kids that we have we are back at hotel, back in the room and within mins we've heard security/fire door ft from ours slam shut multiple times. So I ask at reception and they are booked out, no other rooms available. OK Next morning after a not awful but not great night's sleep we leave early. I make a point if saying to front of house staff about door and heat of hotel as it was extremely warm but that's not a big deal. Only to be told that I should have asked for a different room. I did and was told you were booked solid So we paid nearly for a night in Glasgow, we had what my wife described as a dungeon bedroom, with no view and a near by door that would have woke the dead. Would we stay in this hotel again? Sadly no. The room we stayed in should not be used for guests paying ridiculous prices or anyone really I can't describe rest of hotel as we didn't go lurking I absolutely hate leaving a negative review on these things but we were just so disappointed. Hopefully this gets to the right people and it doesn't happen to anyone else Thank you Date of stay was"

"The impressive driveway leads to a stunning Georgian mansion that will definitely leave a lasting impression. Don't be deceived by the car park, as the best is yet to come! The mansion, built in 1722, is surrounded by 312 acres of picturesque parkland with lakes, situated on the River Uck. There is also a charming 13th century church, St Margaret the Queen, and a local cricket club on the grounds. Inside the church, you will find beautiful stained glass windows to admire. The rooms may not all be as spacious as expected, but they are airy and comfortable, some even with balconies. The suites, as seen in the brochure, are luxurious and spacious. Regardless of the room size, the grand staircases will make you feel like royalty. The staff are welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The Orangery and Fine Dining Room offer excellent food, amazing wines, and delectable desserts. Breakfast is buffet-style with a good selection to suit every taste. Guests can also enjoy the small gym, sauna, and spa. The ambiance of a bygone era, leisurely walks, delicious food, and gorgeous surroundings create a special experience. Whether you are looking for a dining experience, afternoon tea, short break, or wedding venue, this is the perfect place. The mansion is also conveniently located near other local attractions. Keep an eye out for special offers to make your stay even more enjoyable. The menu wines are reasonably priced, but be prepared for slightly expensive cocktails and bar drinks."

"We had dinner here 10 days before Christmas, and the bistro being less than half full should already be a sign to the management that something isn't right.The menu is very limited and lacked imagination. We had 3 different dishes risotto, salmon and pasta, and chicken shawarma. Sadly the risotto was dry, lacked seasoning and taste, and had a slab of goats' cheese on top rather than adding flavour and moisture by being stirred throughout. It was similar with the salmon, with over cooked fish sitting on a pile of pasta. The shawarma was just very strange. The whole dish was something that could be pulled together with cupboard ingredients and the leftovers from yesterday's roast chicken and doesn't deserve place on the menu. The chicken had been previously cooked (it was obvious from the taste), and mixed with far too much chilli that destroyed any potential balance. They even managed to mess around with the pitta. Rather than serving puffed pittas that could be stuffed with chicken, it was cut into pieces and piled onto the plate as if it was just flatbread. If we had not been visiting with parents (that would have been upset) every dish would have been sent back to the kitchen and we would have gone elsewhere.The venue makes a lot of fuss about the pedigree of the chef, and even has large photos in the toilets (very odd). The menu and cooking however is that of an inexperienced or amateur team.The only factor stopping the rating being terrible is that they served good coffee while we sat in the lounge next to the real fire."
