As the missus had other plans, I decided to treat my two daughters (7 and 2 years old) to a weekend at a hotel with a pool. After a bit of research, I managed a reasonable rate B&B rate through "Hotel Connexions" for the Macdonald Houston House Hotel. The rate was only marginally greater than budget hotels and included breakfast... more

Well, what can we say about this hotel, nothing negative for starters. We had a wonderful stay right from arriving to departing. The hotel is easy to find, well sign posted. We arrived and parked the car close to the Spa building. Found the reception quickly and were greeted in a friendly and professional manner. It is certainly an old... more

Stayed for 2 nights while attending a family wedding. It was a lovely place to stay and the staff were very attentive. We enjoyed a meal in the Tower restaurant the evening before the wedding which was delicious. The waiting staff were tremendous and looked after everyone, including 2 young children who were present. The setting of the hotel was... more

Came here with my aged mother and her aged friend to have lunch and celebrate her birthday. Magnificent environs/grounds, well kept. We had no reservation and enquired about lunch at reception desk. Receptionist phoned the bar to see whether we could be accomodated since we were told they were expecting a large group 55 minutes later. We were told, "yes"... more

Had a 2 night stay here with my girlfriend and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were excellent throughout our time here and could not be faulted for their friendliness. At breakfast there was the option of both a traditional cooked or a continental buffet style or eat both if you were capable! There was plenty of choice of cereals, fruit,... more

This Hotel is living on it's past days of glory. It is now shabby and unkepmt with no sparkle at all. The saving grace for us was that the Staff we met were pleasant and the food was good. This place could be fantastic but right now avoid it like the plague. Stephen, Larbert more

Slightly unfortuante that we were checking in amongst the reception drinks of a wedding party, but even with no guests at the reception desk the process of just getting the room key was simply painful. I experienced the same issue as another reviewer in relation to not having a credit card to swipe on arrival, only a debit card which... more

We decided last minute to go and stay in the hotel. I knew we had made the right decision, when driving up the tree lined path. The place felt like it was in the middle of a forest, perfect for me and my mum to have some mother/daughter pampering! The check in was quick and easy (be warned you will... more

Booked a room only weekend deal. Lovely place, friendly helpful staff. Food was fine except for breakfast - £17.50 which was a buffet, serve yourself operation. Cold food, limited choice. For this price this is unacceptable. the 'hot' food on offer was cold, undercooked and about five items short of what constitutes a full Scottish breakfast. Must try harder... more
