Stayed on a Friday night (£59 for a 4-poster room, £39 for double with single occupancy, booked through LateRooms.com). Can imagine it being less than ideal if noisy wedding receptions were going on downstairs, say on a Saturday night, but we had an very pleasant stay, and I'd recommend it as a place to stay 'off-peak'.

Attention to detail in preparing the 4-poster room was very good: chocolate mints, selection of fruit with plates, knives & fan-folded napkins, leather-bound books on writing desk, etc. Bed was v. firm, which suits me just fine. En-suite was as one would hope.

Can't comment in detail about the single room in the annex, but it looked nice (if quite compact), and its occupant spoke well of it.

Arrived at half past nine on Friday night, too late to eat (and there was no residents' bar open, either). Breakfast was good — full cooked, with cereal, juice, fruit etc. as a buffet — and the service was attentive & friendly, but not cloyingly so.

The hotel is on the very edge of the Glasgow built-up area, on the fringes of a decent residential patch. The grounds looked nice (through the rain!), and the view to low gorse-covered hills is easy on the eye, if not spectacular. The town centre of Barrhead (5 minutes' drive away) is nothing at all to write home about, but there's a good train service into town from there, and less than £5 gets you a 'Roundabout' ticket that gives you travel all day on suburban rail and the Subway.

on 26th november 2007 I booked this hotel for one night as a treat for my husbands 50th birthday and after i read some reviews i was worried about it but i would just like to say we had a fantastic time the four poster room was very well furnished and the bed was very comfortable we had dinner and the standard was excellent as was the breakfast would definately go back again even just for a break
very happy from falkirk

We stayed here thinking that the hotel was going to be a luxury 4 star hotel it wasnt believe me it was poor from the minute we arrived even breakfast was poor no buffet no choice extremely dissappointing avoid this hotel at all costs! We even had visitors in our room the biggest spiderS we have ever seen!

Stayed here the night of my brothers wedding.The day was great the hotel grounds are amazing but believe me the rooms were more like 1star rather than 4star think they need to look at the rooms and update and refurnish them heard they spent a quater of a millon pounds on the grounds this year i would advise them 2 spend the money on the inside. Please avoid this hotel at all costs it is certainly not a luxury hotel more like a b&b!
