Links Hotel

What a lovely little find this is. After a long day on the road, it's pleasant to be greeted by friendly staff, very spacious room and the evening meal was absolutely delicious. This is definitely a place I will re-visit when I'm delivering up Scotland.

The Links Hotel has a touch of classic grandeur about it, with its ornate staircase and stained glass windows. The room was clean and comfortable, with a balcony and view over the park. The staff were extremely friendly and the food was exceptional. It's definitely on our list for a return visit.

We booked late and stayed only one night. The receptionist was friendly and allocated us our room. We were pleasantly surprised with our room which had nice furnishings and was a good size. After that it all went downhill. We went down to the bar and asked if they did any cocktails to which the answer was an abrupt no. We asked if there was any aperol, again an abrupt no. We had booked a table for dinner and again this was a mistake, the menu was small and although there was a special’s board it was all very uninspiring and poor quality. Our nice room was probably the noisiest room, we couldn’t sleep because of conversations going on outside our room and from the car park below. Breakfast was interesting, orange juice tasted like watered down squash, a luke warm buffet with empty dishes which were slow to be replaced. The paint is peeling off the beams in the conservatory and the whole dining area needs revamped and the poor chef needs a bigger budget.
