Ideal as a stop off point for travelling. Not picturesque in location but easy to access from the A74. A pleasant night's stay.

Shower in room 5 needs the tile grout bleached and cleaned properly. Also the room window is not sealed and locking properly. noise from traffic is constant as a result.
All fine otherwise

Really enjoyed my stay , good pub and great friendly staff , nice and clean room , definitely stay here again
Accommodation was relatively easy to find.. Booking in was unusual as I had to check in at the India restaurant apposite the accommodation. Staff very friendly. Room spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Toilet clean and tidy. Yes/coffee facility available. A bit noisy during the evening with the pub being below the accommodation but not a major issue. Reasonable priced... Now that I know the setup .Yes Id probably stay again..

Felt the room was a bit tired and could do with an upgrade
Apart from check-in didn’t have any interactions with any staff
Suited my needs for the night
Provided a room which was comfortable at very reasonable cost. The only downside is the Kareoae in the Bar which goes on until midnight. But I took part !

It was a clean room with excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds. Pub below was a little noisy but that stopped and everything was a good nights sleep

Be aware if booking that there is no parking on site. You have to go to another property on the other side of the dual carriageway to collect your key and park your car. This isn’t made clear in the listing. If like me you have a lot of work stuff to carry back to your accommodation, it isn’t really suitable.
I tried to contact the owners numerous times and had no response. Hotels.com also tried to contact them numerous times regarding a refund but couldn’t get hold of them.
I had to pay for another accommodation for the night.

It was a nice ensuite room, it was clean but amenities were not good, TV was not working, Internet was slow. Although there were complementary tea and coffee was provided but the electric kettle was not working properly. Bathroom was clean and amenities were placed in. Overall it was not bad in such a low price.

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge.
We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight
All in all the space was great
Good place for the price you paying easy for the football at Hamilton FC ground and lots of buses to and from Glasgow

Stop over near Glasgow
After a breakdown we arrived very late. The owner made arrangements to leave keys for us and made sure we knew where to park.

More info needed
A perfectly good stay. Good location for what we wanted and good price.
Check in was a problem which with good comms should’ve been fine. So if you are staying - both parking and check-in are over the road in the “spice” restaurant.
Our room was exactly the one in the picture. Basic, clean and did the job.

Comfy bed
The biggest issue was slamming doors from rooms & the outside pub door was under our room was going all night music banging .But most noise from other people in rooms.should be a sign to be considerate to other guests.
Also label keys better as someone putting keys in our door then constantly trying to get in until I went to door to tell him.No hot water for shower in morning .
Plenty of coffees left in room though

The only good thing was its proximity to my work!!! I was placed in a room over the bar with live music playing til 0001. I had no temote for my TV it was requested on the first night but never received. I certainly WILL NOT stay there again.

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to

Above a pub so some noise is to be expected but they had lardons on until 1am on a Tuesday night.
