Wendy was absolutely charming, warm and welcoming and such a lovely positive energy - and although I arrived at very short notice - was happy to greet me! The room was immaculately clean and the little toilet and wash hand basin was spotless, as was the separate shower room. The decor was smart, warm and hospitable and I felt very comfortable. There was a dressing gown, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits and superb service, which is more than I got paying 4 Xs more at the MacDonald Houston Spa Hotel in Livingston just a few miles away!! There is also a continental breakfast included so it's a perfect "pit stop" for a good sleep! Thank you Wendy - excellent value for money!

Absolutely nothing to dislike!!!!

The rooms were clean and the proprietor was very approachable. Even giving access to the breakfast room for work after the time of departure. The Wifi was reliable downstairs but not reachable in the room. The hotel was well placed for exploring the surrounding countryside, and the peaceful location ensured a good nights sleep.

The description given in booking.com is misleading. We thought we had a deluxe double room overlooking the garden. Apparently these rooms were flooded and no longer available. The three rooms available overlook the village green, at the front, and all three, although having own toilets, share two shower rooms over the corridor. We did not have satellite channels, tea/coffee maker, microwave, DVD player, cable channels or a toaster. The description states a full English/Irish breakfast in with the price, this was not the case. Instead the offering was a Scottish continental breakfast.

location, view, comfort, staff & price very dog friendly.

although there was a toilet and sink in the room the shower / bathroom was opposite the room & it was not a shared bathroom but there was bathrobes provided. there was a quiz night held in the bar the night we stayed but we were warned when we arrived but it didn't cause that much of an issue. there was an issue with the breakfast but due to issues beyond their control we accepted the explanation and would return when kitchen is up and running again.

Friendly and accommodating host. Cosy room, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed. Have to comment on the lovely fresh smelling towels. Good selection of fruits, cereals, yogurts and pastries on the continental breakfast.

This isn’t a dislike, just a note for those looking for amenities on the doorstep. For connection to Edinburgh and Glasgow the location is great. The village itself is only small, offering a Morrisons local/post office. The village pub is only open weekends, with the nearest restaurant being a drive away.

Lovely room. Very clean with tea and coffee making facilities. Wendy is a lovely host and made us feel very welcome.

On arrival, we were told there was a karaoke evening and put us in a room furthest away. We could hear it but didn't bother us too much. There was some noise at 2 in the morning, but Wendy was very apologetic at breakfast the following morning.

Wendy was a great host, check in was easy. Room clean stylish and comfortable with en suite. Breakfast was lovely for continental there was decent choices and we were well fed. Location was perfect for an event we were at

Only 2 critiques and nothing major- tv was very high probably could do with being lowered and maybe a coat hook at higher level to put clothes on that don't fit in the wardrobe

The whole facility is newly refurbished, with nice decor and a very comfortable bed. The continental breakfast was very nice, and overall it was great value. The host was very welcoming and happy to deal with our dietary needs.

Note: Shower facilities are shared with the other rooms (two shower rooms between the three bedrooms) - not a problem when we were there as we were the only guests!

Good breakfast. Made to order. Clean, comfortable. Ideal location. Friendly and welcoming staff.

No evening meals and bar is currently only open a few days per week. Would be good to have bar/meals available - I was aware of this before booking. Food available 10 minutes drive.

Room was great, owner was behind the bar and showed me to my room, she was very helpful and friendly. Bathroom was nice and modern. Nice bar area, although apparently the restaurant side was being refurbished, so there were no meals or food being served.

There was no warning about the lack of evening meal, so I had to drive 15 mins to a takeaway then eat in my room. Also, and I know it was needs must etc, but I ended up sharing the breakfast table with another couple, and whilst I know it couldn't be helped, it was just a little weird being as I didn't know them (but they were lovely).
