Enjoyed our stay, in a comfortable and roomy two bed apartment. Very conveniently located for the National Arboretum, that was on our list to visit. The two speed bumps on the approach road were quite severe and resulted in some scrapping noises from under our car, even though we drove over them at the lowest possible speed. We experienced a couple of cleaning issues, which were reported.

It’s not that bad, I definitely think some of the other reviews are harsh. If I could give a 3.5 I would. As it’s definitely better than average but not quite as good as very good. Stayed for one night and yes it does look a bit tired. It just needs a little refurbishment. But the room was decent the bed reasonably comfortable and cleanliness well a little more attention and it would be perfect. The breakfast was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. The only thing watch the yoghurts as they were 2 days out of date. But yes to sum up one night maybe two a fine stay any longer then yes maybe look elsewhere.

Afternoon tea booked on Groupon. Greeted at the door by a friendly smile from Ronald who knew us bt name from booking. We were shown to our table, also it was a hot day so a fan was placed by our table. We were so grateful that our little dog was allowed to be with us too, bonus. Selection of sandwiches on Brown and White, homemade Chocolate, Carrot cake with scones, jam and fresh cream Eton Strawberry dessert. 2 pits of tea , mine was green tea . Tea was topped up when needed. We were offered foil to take home anything we didn't eat which we did use. I know people say this place needs a refurbishment and tidy which I understand but it's a fabulous 1777 old hotel with many features, and all staff are so friendly and nothing too much trouble Even Carlos the chef came and had a chat with us, explaining how they want to increase their footfall and show how good their food and service can be.So for us because the food was fresh, homemade, tasty I believe they need support from the locals and new customers to promote their business then hopefully they can use this to help with any updating etc, but we all know how hard it is to keep small businesses a float in these hard time. We wish you well and will spread the word because your food deserves bums on seats in little Bistro, and we will ve back very soon. Thank again. Michelle and Simon

We arrived at about 10pm on the way up to Glasgow, and decided to stop and get a good nights sleep, which I'm glad we did as it was the best nights sleep in a hotel for the next 5 nights. The room was quite basic, but as it was for a stopover we didn't mind at all. We would definitely look out for Days Inn hotels when travelling in the future. There was no breakfast but as the hotel adjoins services this was no problem. Had a lovely Leon breakfast. Car parking is included in the room price too so overall very good value.

What a fabulous experience at this Holiday Inn Express! From the moment we entered we were welcomed with cheery staff who were always smiling and only too happy to help. The Hotel is very clean! Obviously the carpet will have some marks but you can see that they have gone to great lengths to try and remove these. Our room was so clean. The bed linen was pure white and the towels were almost new and very clean and fluffy. (The only downside are the room doors) As the rooms all have to have fire doors it is a little stressful every time a door has to be slammed shut! Be it morning, noon or night there is no option but to slam the door as it doesn't lock otherwise (Room 131 which I did report) Breakfast was all you would need and different options to accommodate everyone. I am Coeliac and was given GF cereal and GF bread toasted separately in the kitchen and covered in cling film to bring to the table obviously reducing the cross contamination issue. What a great relief! My only criticism would be how long it takes to order food through the day, this takes a while and reduces the availability of staff to serve from the bar, but not a biggie. Would definitely recommend this place and highly commend the staff for such wonderful Customer Service obviously guided by good Management.

The location is a bit distant, but it is closer to where we are going, so I chose this place. There are costa coffee, frankie & benny ”s, McDonald's, we ate here for 3 days. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was similar to other hotels. Cleaner

For £120 myself and partner stayed in a very comfort and clean room on a Saturday night. Included in the package as a village member (membership free) was a £50 food voucher, gym and pool access, breakfast and large TV in room with SKY sports. The food was excellent and couldn't squeeze a dessert in the portions were that generous. The bar and staff had a fantastic atmosphere and we didn't feel any need to venture out of the hotel in the evening.

Four of us enjoyed the Thursday and Friday carvery, with a most friendly welcome from Roger. The starters were from a self selection. I had the tasty smoked salmon, with a fresh roll, while some of the others had the prawn cocktail or mackerel, along with a varied fresh salad. The carvery was beef or ham. A good choice from unlimited fried veg, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire Pudding and tasty gravy. Some joviality at pudding time, as the apple crumble was rhubarb, or there was cheesecake or brownie with ice cream. Nice and warm restaurant. We are going to go back soon.

This was literally a stop over during Covid an essential trip. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Our room upon arrival looked clean and we literally just crashed. However, inthe morning we discovered a pair of dirty socks from previous occupants left on the side cupboard and sachets of sweetener between the sheets and the mattress! Unacceptable at the best of times nevermind during a worldwide pandemic. Reported to staff who apologised and are handling complaint. Staff very apologetic but simply unacceptable.
