We stayed at Houstoun House recently for a night, and found it to be a pleasant place. The spa was nice (albeit busy) and our upgraded room was immaculately clean and well-furnished. The inevitable Philips TV was predictably awful, but the bathroom was clean and well-appointed, despite having a shower curtain over the bath instead of a dedicated cubicle. The... More

On arrival our room was not ready despite arriving after the check in time of 2pm. We were not offered a drink or anything while we waited. 45 minutes later the room was ready. Bathroom - very tired looking, a rogue hair on floor, but functional. Sheets on one of the beds had marks on it - so I put... More

Having read many of the reviews on TripAdvisor I was approaching a girlie weekend at Houston House with great trepidation. The bedroom was lovely - huge, with a huge bathroom, clean and cosy - in the annexe along the path to the spa. During our weekend there were 2 weddings but we didn't get disturbed at all from these (apart... More

Check in was easy and painless, very helpful staff. Although we both live nearby we had booked this hotel to have a relaxing night and a nice meal whilst escaping from the norm. It was obvious on arrival that a wedding party had just arrived and having found that our room was at the far end of the building we... More

We had our wedding on 10 Nov 2012 in the Strathbrock Suite. Myself and my daughter stayed the evening before the "big day" - our room was in the annex which was a large room with all that you would expect for a 4 star hotel, did love this room. Also the window faced the path which was good as... More

We stayed-over with dinner, bed and breakfast at very reasonable cost (depends on demand so no fixed price). Thoughtful upgrade to a very spacious and beautifully decorated upper suite with a bottle of wine, fruit, chocolate truffles, shortbread and robes - and a birthday card for the wife - she was thrilled! Thank you, HH. We were in a separate... More
