Had intended having coffee at a nearby garden centre with a group of friends before we all went our separate ways having been together for Hogmanay. But the garden centre was closed so we thought we would try the nearby hotel. Phoned to check they...could accommodate us and were told "yes". It turned out to be a very enjoyable visit as we were made to feel welcome despite only having coffees. A lovely end to our New Year celebrations. Thanks to all the staff at Hetland Hall!More

Back again for a fantastic 'Festive Fare' lunch. We have a large family gathering lunch there every year and this was the best to date. The food along with the service that we recieved was first class, the young girls that looked after us certainly...worked hard for their money. Our thanks go out to the management and all of the staff for looking after us.More

It must be twenty-five years since I last visited Hetland Hall Hotel. The lunch I had then reminded me of the hotel fare we had to suffer in my youth, during post war austerity - one slice of cold meat; two scoops of mashed potato...with some over boiled vegetable followed by tinned fruit and custard. Needless to say, I never returned and would advise people against the place, until we were given a Christmas voucher for afternoon tea there. We used this yesterday and it was excellent - a generous helping of well filled sandwiches followed by fresh scones, jam and clotted cream and finished with a selection of dainty cakes, too numerous to finish. This was washed down with a well selected tea and a glass of prosecco. All was delightful and none of the baking was bought in but prepared in house. I suspect there have been several changes in ownership at Hetland Hall during the last quarter of a century since my last visit however, bad fare may offer short term profit but has long term consequences. I am happy to say that this recent pleasurable experience has completely altered my opinion of the place.More

I wanted somewhere a bit sophisticated and buzzy to take my very special Daughter in Law for a birthday meal. Hetland Hall was recommended by friends who said it was refurbed and now great. I remembered it from some years ago when it had been...a bit tired and sad. But, wow, what a change. The restaurant was lovely, and the food and staff couldn't have been better. I found out that Hetland is part of a small group of four such hotels, since this visit my husband and I have now visited another in the group which is just of the M74 and was equally pleased. The food is stylish and very good value. Well done. so much nicer than the big chain hotels/restaurants.More

This place has lovely gardens and a nice outdoor space. The room we had was newly kitted out and was good value for money. We did notice that some parts of the hotel weren’t really finished, like the roof on the extension. It just looked...a bit messy in places. We had unpainted wooden panels in the room. Bathroom was a good size and nice shower although there was clearly some snagging issues and our bathroom had a very drainy smell. We reported this to reception. We did order some food off the evening menu which was pub style. There was lots of oven cooked bread on plates. Not very imaginative. My partner had a fish pasta dish which looked like something you would have put together at home. I did notice weddings were being sold. I wouldn’t want that standard of food for my function. Having said all that the following morning breakfast was an improvement but really nothing complicated. My partner had a vegetarian option but was really disappointed with the portion size. On the upside staff were very friendly. One point of note where was the haggis in my Scottish breakfast.More

We had lunch today and could not fault anything. Staff were friendly and attentive. Menu options were good and food quality was excellent. The lounge area is nice and relaxed with outdoor seating if you are lucky to visit on a sunny day.

Nice lunch on Sunday, shame about the size and quality of one of the desserts! Minature by nature, not by price! One strawberry, one raspberry and 3 blueberries in miniature tarts! Should really have sent it back, waitress and manager said thank you for the...comment but no reduction in price! Certainly wouldn't return for the desert menu but the rest of the food was good.More

Hetland Hall has a very nice outdoor area to have your drinks outside as well as a comfortable inside bar lounge area if the weather is not up to sitting outside where there are fountains and a pleasant outlook over the lawn area, we enjoyed...our leisure time in both the outside and inside lounges and had a good choice of beverages on over and bar meals if desired, will return again and make good use of these pleasant areas in and around the hotel.More

My 89 year old Dad goes here almost weekly to eat. The staff, particularly Bryce and Andy are very attentive to him. He loves the lunches and invited me along yesterday. Great choice of food, warm welcome, Dad ordered Soup as a starter which was...Tomato and was accompanied by a hot crusty roll. My lunch was Braised Beef with New Potatoes, Carrots and Parsnip. It was served with a Horseradish Gravy which was delicious. The Beef was so soft and it was cooked to perfection. Dad had Cumberland Sausage and Steak Pie. It was enormous, huge pastry and loads of meat. accompanied by chips and Veg. The staff were very attentive and sociable without being intrusive. Great service! Reasonably priced. To finish, my Dad managed to eat an Ice Cream (don't know how he managed it). The views from the Hotel are amazing, it's a beautiful setting and the Hotel has been refurbished to a high standard. Will be back!More

My son and daughter took me here for an early Mothers Day treat. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and beautifully lit. The staff are cheery and helpful. We opted for the afternoon tea choice ordering for 4 people instead of 3 as it's the most...cost effective ( don't ask). Nice selection of finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream and a variety of bite sized cakes served with tea or coffee. Pity about the weather because outside is gorgeous and the view stunning. Good luck to the new management as they've spent a fortune on this place.More
