Very Nice Hotel To Stay At

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 6, 2024
The hotel is easy to find, located in a friendly community, with food served all day. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I stayed in room 13 which was quiet and comfortable. However, the lighting was loose, the bathroom floor a little stained, and the shower needed a full door to prevent flooding. The chair in the room was old, hence the 4-star rating. I would have preferred the champagne to be in the room upon arrival, but it arrived with us, diminishing the special feeling.
Despite a wedding at the hotel, the room remained quiet. Special thanks to Beth and Morgan at reception, and to Stacy and Shanan for a lovely breakfast where I tried haggis for the first time. The hotel is approximately 25 minutes from Edinburgh and 45 minutes from Glasgow, making it a perfect base to reach both cities easily. Taxis to Armadale or Bathgate stations are about £7-£8 and take around 6 minutes. Local shops are a 10-minute walk away, with a bus stop right outside the hotel. Bus fares are £2 for a single and £5.50 for an all-day ticket.
An Asda supermarket is located next to Armadale station, and an Uber from Edinburgh to the hotel costs around £35-£45. The hotel staff can call taxis for you as needed. My stay was very good, and I would stay here again. Overall, a very nice hotel.

Room Tip: If you need your room to be clean put the sign out at 9am. Take a cardigan with you as it gets...

    Booked direct by telephone to stay here and received friendly response and a competitive rate. Chose the location to meet some friends. The hotel has a large car park and on arrival, the reception was a little "systematic". The room on the first floor via stairs (no lift, which is indicated on the website), was comfortable, well equipped and very clean. We had a pleasant stay and check out was friendly and pleasant. Incidentally, the location title description on Tripadvisor can be a little misleading. The hotel is virtually equidistant between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

    Booked an accessible room as a wheelchair/mobility scooter user and adviced them of this upon booking some 2 months prior.
    I was given room n1 on the ground floor the door of which is right next to the door to the reception meaning it was very tricky manoeuvring on a tight corner while dealing with two doors at the same time.
    The room was spacious, but the mattress was really hard, so I didn't have a great night and woke up with a sore back. The bathroom was spacious however the toilet only had one grab rail. The shower/wet room lacked a seat so as it was evening and ready to take a shower before bed I called reception asking for one and they said they would bring me one. Gone 45min no sight of anyone called them again to be told it was on its way. Called a third time 15 minutes later and finally, they said it was ready to be collected.
    Having to chase 3 times for 1 hour was poor customer service.
    I also went to the restaurant and the menu was a mix of many different cuisines, sadly as the old saying goes ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’ the food was bland, very bad I stress very poor quality and expensive for what it was. After reading other reviews after my visit, I noticed that their food was awful. Last but not least, upon entering the restaurant, the first table on the left was empty and looked like a war zone with paper strewn across the floor, we had to walk around it. The restaurant was not busy and as that is the first thing a guest sees upon entering the restaurant I feel it should have been cleaned promptly.
    If I travelled in the area again I wouldn’t book again.

    Room tip: Read reviews before booking

    Great people good service and always with a smile. Food was average for this kind of hotel. Bed was clean and comfortable. The reason I stayed here is the close proximity to the business I have been working for. Will I stay again, yes.

    Modern hotel within easy reach of Edinburgh
    We paid a lot for the rom as Taylor Swift was performing and the reason for our visit so we expected an increase in room prices.
