Hotels in der Nähe von Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Bishopton

4 of us booked back in May for the Howard Donald event, £55 per ticket with a 2 course meal and a glass of bubbly on arrival. We were shown to our table and met with afternoon tea on cake stands. I had my own due to dietary requirements but the other three in my group had one cake stand between them. We took one from another place setting and the waiting staff then replaced it. There was no consistency between the stands, some had pate and some didn’t, one tiny quiche to share between 2. At no point were we told the meal had been changed to afternoon tea and no apology was received. At some point later in the day there was water in the ladies toilet so we couldn’t flush the toilets or wash hands and then there was no toilet paper. The venue quite clearly could y cope with the even and a wedding. We left early, as did lots of people, very disappointed and feeling pretty ripped off.

Wir waren für zwei Nächte im Abbotsford Hotel untergebracht. Das Zimmer war klein und für zwei Männer teilweise etwas eng, dennoch völlig ausreichend. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es für das Badezimmer. Es war klein, schlecht belüftet und die Dusche hat ein lautes Fiepen bei warmen Wassertemperaturen von sich gegeben, welches man sicherlich auch im nächsten Zimmer noch gehört hat. Wir hatten kein Frühstück gebucht, haben aber beim Check-In ein Angebot für 6,50 GBP p.P. erhalten und dieses gerne angenommen. Das stellte sich als gute Wahl heraus. Zum Frühstück bekommt man Kaffee und Tee mit Refill, man wählt beim Essen zwischen verschiedenen Frühstücken. Von Pancakes über Porridge bis hin zum traditionellen schottischen Frühstück war alles dabei. Auch der Pub ist für den ein oder anderen Schlaftrunk sehr zu empfehlen und wird auch von den Locals aufgesucht. Die Lage des Hotels ist praktisch an der Schnellstraße gelegen, welche einen schnell ins Gebirge und Loch bringt. Außerdem erreicht man von hier fußläufig das Dumbarton Castle und die Innenstadt. Unterm Strich kann ich das Hotel für einen Aufenthalt empfehlen.

Mein Mann überraschte mich mit einem luxuriösen Spa-Stadt über einen abgesperrten Bereich auf dem Weg nach Greenock. Die Einrichtungen waren erstaunlich und sind perfekt für Paare, die eine Gehäuse vom Lärm der Stadt suchen. Ich hatte eine Massage, während mein Mann auf dem Golfplatz eine Runde spielte. Zimmer, Spa-Einrichtungen und Restaurant waren sehr gut ausgestattet und gepflegt. Besonders Spa-Team waren sehr groß und schien ein glückliches Band. Würde jemanden empfehlen, eine Getaway zu suchen !

Mein Partner ist am Jubiläum und um die Reisen zurück und vorwärts zu retten habe ich einige Übernachtungen im Konferenzhotel. Das Personal ist wunderschön und freundlich. Das Restaurantpersonal ist fab und grüßig und dient mit einem schönen Lächeln auf ihrem Gesicht. Das Essen ist auch erstaunlich und sehr vernünftiger Preis für das, was Sie erhalten. Wird zweifellos für weitere Übernachtungen in der Zukunft zurück sein, während mein Partner im Krankenhaus ist.

Wir waren überrascht, dass wir bei der Ankunft eine kostenlose Upgrade erhalten, die ein toller Anfang für unseren Urlaub war. Das Zimmer war schön, sauber und komfortabel. Erstaunliche Wasserdruck in der Dusche - es fühlte sich wie ich unter einem Wasserfall! :) Wir beschlossen, unser Abendessen im Hotel zu haben, das schön war. Check-out am nächsten Morgen war super schnell und mit nur einen kurzen Spaziergang über die Straße zum Flughafen konnte man keine bessere Lage.

My wife and I stayed here last Saturday night (12/10) as we had an early flight Sunday morning, upon check in the receptionist asked if we were here for the GBX night, I said no and asked what it was, she said it was some local DJ playing in the hotel (we later found out the hotel frequently hosts tribute nights and events on a Saturday night). We went up to our room which was ok - nothing special and went down for dinner at the restaurant where we were met by a bunch of drunken, screaming women on a hen night, apparently there were a couple of hen nights in for this DJ event - a couple of lads in the bar were giving the women piggy backs through the restaurant cheering at the top of their voices. It settled down for 5 mins then the fire alarm went off and everybody was evacuated from the building - well I say everybody - while most people were standing outside the building for 45 mins waiting for the fire brigade to eventually arrive there were people still in their rooms waving to the people standing outside freezing. Upon re-entry to the building there was no apologies of any sort from hotel staff and we made our way back to the restaurant, We had our coldish meal then went upstairs to our room. About 1.30 am the noise coming from the rooms a couple of doors down was terrible, music blaring, women screaming and singing, I let it go for about half an hour then had to phone reception to complain about the noise, the lad on reception asked me what room it was coming from and I was unsure but I gave him a rough idea. It quietened down for about 10 minutes then started up again, my wife and I packed our bags then headed down to reception to ask for another room. I told the lad on reception I'd phoned down to complain about the noise and he said he'd been up to then to tell them to keep the noise down and I said it hadn't worked because they were still making a racket - now this was 03.30 am, he said it was always the same on a Saturday night so we got another room in a quieter area of the hotel and lay on the beds for an hour before heading off to the airport. The worse night ever staying in a hotel and we won't be back. AVOID!!!

We booked this as we knew our flight home to Glasgow Airport was landing late and we could not face the long drive home at such a time. By the time we cleared with our bags and walked to the hotel from the terminal it was 2am when we checked in. Unfortunately we were given room 115, which was opposite the elevators on the first floor. It was also not only an accessible room with wet bathroom (no shower unless you wanted to flood the whole room) but also had a ”connecting” door to the next room. No idea who was on the either side, but not ideal for either of us given our late arrival. I was feeling extremely tired and and went straight to my bed - unfortunately it was far too soft and it was a double, so we tended to fall into the middle where the ”hole” or ”dip” in the mattress was. With us both trying to sleep on the outside of the mattress for comfort we continually pulled the small duvet from each other in an attempt to keep warm after our return from Africa. The pillows were also too soft for my liking, however that was minor compared to the mattress. There hours later, at around 5am the corridor started coming alive with excited children heading off on their holidays, running and squealing, literally!! I can't blame them for being enthusiastic, but perhaps their parents might have understood that some guests might still wish to sleep at that time? Thus our morning continued so when we finally dragged ourselves up for breakfast around 9am I was extremely tired and somewhat grumpy... Now to breakfast; a fairly good selection was on offer if you came at a quiet time. I saw some guests leave towards the end our meal time as they did not want to wait in the queue for what was left. My main gripe about the breakfast was again, not the hotel's fault, but the guests, who presumably are not used to staying in hotels and don't know what swerving utensils are for. I saw one female guest pick up and touch several slices of bread and returning them before picking what she put in the toaster machine. I purposely picked a slice she hadn't pawed and waited whilst it went through the machine, then just as it arrived a young man (her son I believe) whisked it away in front of me. Manners non existent. The breakfast staff were helpful and friendly and the food on offer was perfectly adequate if all the guests knew how to behave. All in all, we picked this hotel for a catch up sleep after a late flight in and we didn't achieve that so we will not be back.
