Eaglesham Vacations from $1,113

Very impressive

Lovely small and extremely friendly hotel. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely breakfast too.

This was precisely the quiet, comfortable, mildly quirky retreat I needed. Superbly located a short walk from the gallery on a quiet, residential street. The breakfast was wonderful - continental, but with an excellent selection of cold cuts, breads and fresh fruit, so significantly superior to over-heated hot buffet breakfasts in soany of the big chains. Travel travails meant I was late for the usual check in window, but they very helpfully provided the code, etc so it was a smooth process for self check-in. Nice touches in the room, including a record player, nespresso machine and pleasant furnishings. WiFi worked well for work. Plenty of sensibly placed plugs and charging points.

Our stay at Glencruitten House was lovely. However, for the price there are a few things that did not exactly meet expectations. First, upon arrival we were offered a welcome drink to enjoy in the sitting room, which was very nice. But there was no direction for what we should do after. We were not offered assistance with bags at check-in, so we went to fetch our own bags after we finished our drinks. When we lugged in our bags we were told “oh someone could have helped you with that”. It was noted that no one proceeded to help us from the lobby to our room. There was also zero acknowledgement that we were celebrating our first anniversary. Not that we expected anything free— just acknowledging it would have gone a long way in appearing invested in your guests and making them feel special. On the whole, customer service just kind of seemed to be a bit lackluster. Additionally, the house just seemed to have quite a bit of touch ups/repair work needed (door on electric heater in bedroom was broken, lots of chipped paint on the walls, streaky paint jobs on windows where a second coat was necessary, sloppy paint jobs where paint was on window glass and door trims). Nothing was “wrong” with our stay, per se. It’s just that staff interactions and the space itself could have been much more polished and refined. Our experience was more in line with a cheaper accommodation.
