“OK but Dated”

Spacious hotel set in peaceful surroundings. Food was ok with the exception of receiving stale sandwiches for a lunchtime snack. Staff were friendly and helpful but generally the hotel is tired and dated. It could do with an upgrade. Rooms were very large and quiet. Didn't have time to try the swimming pool but it look good from outside. All in all, an ok hotel which is fine for a day or two break.

“Fantastic break away”

Dollar, Clackmannanshire

It's nice to see all the changes happening at the hotel. The function room and dining room have already been refurbished to a very high standard. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the food very good. The staff were excellent - very friendly and helpful. We visited on a golf break and the 2 golf courses were both in excellent condition. Great value for money ! Will definately be back.

“disappointed”

2/2 found this review helpful

Have just returned from a one night stay at the Windelstrae. We stayed here 10 years ago and loved the place. Things have gone dramatically downhill since, and this stay must rate as the worst that we have ever experienced anywhere.
With 2 young kids in tow we paid £95 for a twin room including breakfast. Upon entering the room we were met with an appalling, putrid damp kind of smell, that was quite overpowering and nauseating. We tried to get another room but none were available. The girl offered to have the room sprayed with air freshener which did little to calm the stench. The room was that bad that we stayed out as late as possible to avoid being there.
The following morning we left early, and reception told us that they would be seeing to the room. Unfortunately the smell followed us home, as it had got into our children's and our clothes and hair, you know that damp, smokey kind of smell that only comes out with a good bath and a scrub.
We can't believe that another reviewer had the same problem last year, and yet nothing has been done. We would certainly not recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Windlestrae Hotel”

Stayed at hotel for a twixtmas break had a wonderful time, spacious rooms, good leisure centre which we virtually had to ourselves. Staff very helpful, excellent breakfasts cooked to order. The only thing that let the place down was the evening meal in the restaurant. What looked very appetising on the menu was very disappointing when served ,it was bland and tasteless. The service was very poor, the waitress kept forgetting to bring what we asked and we gave up on the sweet we waited that long for it. I dread to think what the service would be like when its busy. Its definately not worth the price they are charging for it. I would recommend this hotel for a short break but give the restaurant a miss.

“Dirty room”

Windlestrae Hotel

16 Oct 2005
4/4 found this review helpful

We booked one night bed and breakfast as we were attending a celebration dinner in the area. We only paid £58 for a twin room but the room had to be the worst we have stayed in in this country. There was a strange smell which we could not quite place. Corners had not seen a hoover for many a month. The toilet seat was broken with dried on splashes from previous user, also gunge and dust in the awkward to clean bits! the sealant round the bath also brown and gungy. electric heater had broken leg, mugs had not been washed properly. The carpets on the stairway were a bit torn and threadbare. We later learned from friends who also booked in that night that they had to ask for a change of room and second one was just as bad. Breakfast looked quite good and was nicely laid out but we had lost our appetite. We won't be back.
