I attended the Buchanan Arms Hotel yesterday (20th May) to benefit from the use of their Spa facilities and an Afternoon Tea. Sadly, I was very disappointed. Whilst the Spa facilities were perfectly adequate, the Afternoon Tea was highly disappointing, both in quality and in service. Dry bread, virtually stale (very small) scones, poor quality caramel shortcake (presented badly with... More

The hotel is dated by old carpets. The hallways have a funny smell, and while the furniture is new - the rest is old. Also their wifi only works in the lobby.

Stayed here for a midweek overnighter. Hotel is lovely nicely furnished and clean. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Our room was right at the top there is no lift but room was large and bathroom was huge and spotless. Not much to do in village unless you like pubs and walking. Hotel has a pool and surrounding areas are... More

Got in and we were standing about with several staff walking by and ignoring us, obviously preoccupied with whatever was going on with all the people about.... More
