The Golden Lion Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved the building itself. I think if a little more was invested into this incredible beautiful hotel it would be the dream. The problem is carpets are old, tubs need recocked, beds were pretty hard. But the bones are all there. I actually loved the staff."

Crieff Hydro

10/10 Excellent

"Victorian Baths are a lovely relaxing place to unwind, beautiful countryside."

Clayton Hotel Glasgow

8/10 Good

"Check in staff were very helpful and the hotel was lovely and clean with a great shower and in an ideal location. The only negative was breakfast which was chaotic, not enough tables, running out of food items very quickly and probably because they were short staffed staff were quite rude. Would stay again but wouldn’t have breakfast."
