Beautiful Hotel

We have stayed several times in 2023 and also many time before previous to this. We always have a lovely time. However this time was tarnished by your front of house team debitting my card for a minibar payment the day after we checked out when I haf already finalised and agreed my bill. I would like to make 2 points - firstly I never received a call from your team to advise a payment was to be taken - it is ridiculous to take a payment which I hadn’t authorised and not tell me. Secondly I had to email to ask why this had happened and I then sent a further email 3 days later before being contacted to sort it out - this was both inconvenient and quite embarrassing actually. It transpired that the minibar bill was nothing to do with me - in fact if your team had reviewed my previous stays they would have noted we never take anything from the minibar. The payment has since been credited to my account but I wish this to be advised to your Management team with a view to sending me a response on this - it really is a poor level of service of which I am sure they will agree! I await a response - thank you.

Great Service

a lovely, comfortable room with great Tunnocks biscuits. Staff were really friendly and helpful, made the stay so much better. The extension of the shuttle bus until 10 was great and hopefully be a permanent improvement. It is a shame that the frill is now on reduced opening times as it is a great location and food was brilliant when it was open. Only minor negative was that the golf course (only one was open as was to carry out maintenance!) was having work carried out on a couple of holes which meant you had to watch what you were doing re workers as well of play golf

Not five star

Outstanding doorman. But… room not ready, was charged £40 for upgrade. Refunded due very noisy aircon clunking from 0400 to 0800. No sleep. Great pool area. Dinner available was Pizza Hut style. Hugely overpriced. Very disappointing. Not 5 star.

Disappointing

Our experience was spoiled by the unavailability to buy drinks in the sports bar, Zephr. On entering the bar there were signs that tables had been occupied and indeed a couple of guests enjoying the thanksgiving American football matches. However there was no sign of any staff serving. After waiting around 10 minutes I actually used my mobile phone to phone reception. A gentleman answered and advised that the bar was only opened to watch the American football and no bar service was available. We left the bar disappointed as we were looking forward to relax, sit in the bar and have drinks after our dinner, so we returned to our room. This wrankled with me, so my wife had a long soak in the bath while I emailed your guest services to express my disappointment. I received a response from Adam Fisher, who apologised for the inconvenience. I even checked your website which shows the Zephr sports bar hours as 17.00 to 00.00hrs. I even referred to the information sheet which we were given in an envelope at check in, again it said 17.00 to 00.00hrs. Mr. Fisher then went on to say that he spoke to the manager of the Kittocks bar, who would be happy to take our drinks order and bring it to the Zephr bar, unfortunately we had returned to our room to settle for the evening. Not the service we have been used to the last 2 or 3 visits, even during Covid. Not your usual 5 star service. Very disappointed as we had booked as a treat for our Ruby anniversary.

Friendly Staff & Great Location

The property is beautiful with stunning view of the water and just minutes from the city centre. The rooms were spacious, clean & stocked with as many ammentities as you could think of. The breakfast was also wildly impressive with a generous offering of varied delicious food! However, what stood out most to me was Adam. I'd went down to the front desk to grab an extension chord so my husband and I could watch the Cowboys game for Thanksgiving. While someone went to fetch the chord, he struck up a conversation with me & I learned I'd found a fellow Cowboys fan. He went above & beyond to secure the empty sports bar for my husband & I to watch the game and play some pool! Fantastic, friendly staff. It makes all the difference! Thank you!
