Pleasent place to stay
We had a really good time here. Staff were great, accommodation was good for the whole family, and the facilities were great. Looks as though it's currently undergoing some much needed updating. But apart from that, was a great hotel.

The hotel was fine for what we needed it for. The building and grounds were nice. However, the room needed a good clean and required updating. We had a window that was broken (and wide open). This was fixed with a small screw and some sellotape which kept it slightly shut but didn't stop wind coming in. We also had a cupboard door that had broken off. These issues didn't make for a good arrival but we were treated to a free pudding for our troubles. Overall, the hotel was ok but not the best. We wouldn't stay again. The lady on reception was great though (Chloe I think).

Worst hotel ive stayed in in all my years
Where do I start... Struggling to find any positive experience staying at Houstoun House. I dont tend to leave feedback and have travelled for years. Cleanliness Horrific throughout the entire hotel, inc. hallways, room, lobby, bar, restaurant. The hotel smells damp everywhere. The bar was probably the worst smelling. The pint glass even smelt dirty, putting me off drinking my beverage. Mould everywhere. Condition Wallpaper ripped off everywhere, stained carpets and filthy walls. Paintwork shocking everywhere. The entire place needs a complete refurbishment. Room The room i stayed in...dear me, this is the first time I wanted to check out as soon as possible as the room was shocking. - Mould everywhere in bathroom and bedroom. - electrical sockets ill fitted with holes exposed. - Bathroom tap missing handle. - clumps of hair in the carpet (and hairclips) - Terrible smell - stains and dust all over the interior units Comfort 2 single beds pushed together - Bed sinks when lying on it - Sheets didnt look clean and looked slept in - Old furniture, Glass top on drawer table sliding off when trying to work off it. Service - Not the best. The breakfast staff were like robots and programmed to say the same things to all guests. - £4 surcharge for most of the cooked breakfasts - £4 surcharge for anything other than tea or coffee (ie latte, cappuccino etc) I could honestly report more but my fingers are getting sore of typing. Will never stay at this hotel again thats for sure.

Comfort and cozy country atmosphere
Excellent location to finish our trip before heading to the airport. Enjoyed the property location outside of the city and being out in the country as opposed to the city. Loved the atmosphere of the pub and having a casual dinner. Beds comfortable but pillows were very hard. Asked for more and we received them which helped!
