Why are are the other reviewers so keen on this place? The reality - cold bedroom with single glazing so lots of traffic roar from the motorway, grotty bathroom with peeling wallpaper, towel rail coming away from the wall, dodgy toilet seat, uncomfortable beds, noisy locals bar, awful dated decor, very average pub style food, no sign of the promised...

Picked up on this lovely place as a journey break on the way to the Scottish Highlands, it's just of the main M74 at Junction 16.

If I could give this owner a gold star I would. The poor man is obviously totally dedicated to his hotel and seems to work round the clock. What a lovely guy, and nothing seems too much trouble.

Just as friendly as last time we stayed. I just wish all establishments were as helpful and friendly. The breakfast was stunning. We stayed here on our way back down from a 16 day trip around Scotland and this was the best breakfast by far, a great way to start the day. More

Breakfast was always a treat and a good start... More
