Good venue for an overnight stay

Overnight stay before attending a family function. Good accommodation although the hotel is a little 'tired'. Plenty of EV charging points in the hotel car park and at the nearby Stirling Park n Ride hub. 👍

The smell coming out of the bathroom sink was absolutely foul. Washing up was difficult because the smell was nauseating. Something is wrong with the plumbing. Nothing was done to remedy the problem.

Property definitely needs a refresh and a coat of paint. Pictures of the rooms must have been taken a few years ago because they have definitely worn down a bit

My family and I enjoyed our one night stay and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were fine and having the pub on the same site was useful as we had had a long drive up. Our only criticism was that at breakfast in the pub , my daughter was charged £1.50 for two mushrooms as an extra on her beans on toast- when queried, we were told it was 75p per mushroom. We had not been told this at the time of ordering and felt we should have been made aware of this as it would have been cheaper for her to have the full breakfast instead.

Terrible smell from the bathroom. I asked the lady the next day to make sure she sprays some kind of deodorant so I can spend more than a few minutes having a shower in the bathroom. Nope, it’s the same smell Maybe the sewage is backed up I don’t know

Good hotel

Our actual room was across the parking lot, in another building. The bar and restaurant offered great food, beverages and good service. This is a great hotel with a ample amount of hot and cold breakfast items, but the actual quest room was minimal, e.g., the twin beds were very small by US standards, no extra amenities, just the basics.
