“Lovely stay”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

I chose this hotel for a stay away with my husband for his birthday. Unfortunately he wasn't feeling well so could not use all of the leisure facilities such as the gym although it did look very good. We had some crossed wires regarding differences in humour from the leisure centre member of staff and neither of us could work... More

Poor service, apathy and bad manners by bar staff today at 1 20pm. Lack of training appears to be the problem!

“Awful”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 via mobile

Poor service from start to finish. Booked dinner bed and breakfast via company - no mention that drinks not included with dinner (even soft drinks), so allowance was £25, but if you don't spend all that on food it's wasted as you can't use for drinks. So had a drink with dinner, signed for it and went to bed. An... More

“Thistle Nook sauna rooms”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Not the worst hotel but dated. The food in the restaurant was lovely although the breakfast in the morning was not. The swimming pool was out of service so didn't use the leisure facilities which was disappointing. The rooms however where a absolute sweat box. The heating was off but the heat was intense!! So bad that I couldn't sleep... More

Dear Reviewer, Unfortunately we had to close the pool at the time of your stay without notice due to a plant fault, this has now been resolved. In regards to the cooling of bedrooms, all our Deluxe Rooms do come with Air Conditioning as standard and we have fans available on request for other room types. Perhaps you could contact... More

Needed a place to stay last minute and the Thistle was available. Pleasant looking hotel although snow showing its age. An obvious (new paint fumes) paint job in the public areas try hide an aging property. Quick and pleasant check in. Room is drab to say the least. Poor shower, plastic shower curtain on straight rail (hygiene??). Poorly fitting curtains... More
