Kirkhouse Inn

First of all both my wife and myself like this place as we have stayed before. We booked a recently upgraded double room. The decor is lovely but there were many major issues. 1.The walls are paper thin. We were woke up at 6 am on a Sunday morning by a couple next door laughing/giggling and talking very loud. 2.No hot water in a very weak shower. 3.No bin for rubbish in the room? 4.Door lock needs replacing.We shouldn't need to stand for 5 minutes trying to lock a door to the point we gave up and left our room unlocked. Downstairs the bar and restaurant is lovely and our breakfast was delicious. The young staff are very nice apart from one female who was very rude throwing down your drink and had a severe frown on her face. Needs to learn a bit of charm to work in the Hotel industry. Both myself and my wife stay in Hotels around the West of Scotland very regularly. Overall we still like this hotel but a lot of work is still needed to get it to a high standard considering it is quite expensive to stay there. We paid £85 for the 2 of us for for b+b which was a special offer on Facebook. The normal price is £160. There is absolutely no way we would pay the normal price as it is very overpriced for what you are actually getting. So in a Nutshell lots of things to get improved.

We booked a one night stay in a suite as we had to attend a funeral in the next door village and there were no other options locally. We arrived to find the check-in desk unattended and it didn't improve from there. The blind in our bathroom was broken, the internet failed to work despite the router being located in the corridor ! We asked to be in a quieter room away from the main road but was told they weren't ready. Breakfast wasn't included in the price and when it did arrive it took 40 minutes from when we ordered it. When my wife complained on leaving we were told that actually the rooms at the rear of the inn had been refurbished and had been available the previous day ! Apparently the management has changed recently but they need to step up soon before the summer season.

An excellent fine dining experience by young Sagar Massi and his front of house Farook. A beautiful setting great design (comfy chairs ) and great welcome. The tasting menu was 6 course and excellent - pork rib was delicious and halibet course very good. Very subtle Indian flavours. Overall we loved it and will be back ..

Lovely and comfortable stay with nice food in the restaurant. The breakfast was also amazing! One of the best we had on our trip. We stayed for 1 night on the way up to the highlands. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Bar area was nice.

Dirty, dated and not worth the money at all. A welcome smell of food and oil awaits you in the hallway, you enter the dirtiest hotel room with the feature of cobwebs on the walls, disgusting marks on the wall lights next to the bed and dust over the blinds. Two rooms booked, due to be near each other - one at one side of the hotel and one at the other due to a mistake with another booking. Do not stay here or shower on leaving.

We stayed here as part of our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. Farooq was on hand throughout to make sure everything was good. Our room was lovely, but the tv was faulty, so we were moved (upgraded) to another room which was fabulous! We had booked into their restaurant which is owned by the fantastic Masterchef professional finalist Sagar Massey. I have to say the decor, ambience and 1st rate service by Alison and Thomas was second to none. The food will quite simply BLOW YOU AWAY! Everything about this place was so nice and the surrounding scenery is straight off a postcard. We will definitely be back and tell everyone about this hidden gem.
