Excellent! We spent 2 nights here and the friendly staff were the nicest we have experienced in a long time. Couldn’t be more helpful, very polite and welcoming. The food is excellent too. (Would recommend the fish pie) The only small gripe we could mention is that the rooms are a bit dated. Very clean but dated. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Lovely hotel, super location, friendly and efficient staff. Very comfortable bed and great big bathroom with a bath, perfect after a long day travelling/rambling. Lovely breakfast with all you can ask for and prompt and pleasant service. Will certainly be back.

Stopped in Biggar for an evening meal after the Scotland v Italy rugby match. Everywhere busy - only the Elphinstone Hotel staff went out of their way to make room for our 4 adults in a snug corner. Grand, substantial meal was served up without delay, just what was needed! (Steak pie recommended!) Very good, attentive staff ensured our stop was memorable. We will visit again!

Just moved from Edinburgh into the area and our Tesco delivery driver recommended Sunday lunch at the Hotel. Parking was easy and when we arrived we were greeted by very friendly staff who seated us by a table of four at the window. Sunday lunch was £20 each for a 3 course ( bargain), but the dinner was very very average. Not to a standard you would go out your way to recommend to someone). The hotel was quaint in that kind of outdated shabby sheik way that it had patterned carpets from the 1980, s and a general worse for wear appeal about it. Definitely in need of a refurb, but okay for a quick mediocre pub lunch.

I was in this hotel today with family,2 adult's and 2 kids 9 & 3, the waiter was absolutely inexperienced and out his depth. We asked for 2 starters of soup and the kids chose for mains from the kids menu which we asked for when we had our starters. My daughter in law's chicken goujons main course came, first?, when explained it was a main and we asked for soup, he ran away with it and returned with soup. My grandson asked for beans, this quickly came as a side in a large Glass bowl, for a child overflowing with beans !, this had to be taken from his reach due to having been overheated in a microwave and the glass untouchable by hand. The mains then came and the goujhons were now very brown and over cooked with the batter crumbling, obviously been reheated from earlier. During the main i happened to look at the floor and from the corner of the wall right along the tables was slime trail from slugs, with the corner of the floor covered in slim. I called the waiter over and asked if he knew what slug trails were, which he didn't, I explained and showed him the pictures i had taken on my phone and the trials on the floor, said he would inform someone, he quickly came back and said it would be dealt with. I asked for the bill, to which i was expecting an apology a least or a reduction on the bill as I had left most of my main course on finding the slug trails. He said there would be no reduction, so i asked for a manager, someone came through, but did not identified his position, but asked what the problem was, I showed him my pictures and asked him to come round the bar and see for himself, to this he refused, and said there was no slugs, i said it is plain as day. He then asked what I expected, and i explained that i should at least have an apology and some explanation or concern shown and a reduction of the bill for the unhygienic floor, the burnt goujons and the scalding beans, as the whole experience was despicable. He then accused me of holding him to ransom, and i replied that i would inform environmental health, he then accused me of blackmail if he did not reduce the bill. He did take a small reduction off the bill, but i never received an apology. When i suggested that the carpets had not been cleaned today as slugs tend to come out in the dark and at night, he said the carpets were cleaned and spotless every morning. I am aware some people do complain over simple things, but slug infestation in a restaurant, denial, refusing to even take a look, reheated chicken, serving exceedingly hot glassware to a 3 year-old, i feel is not acceptable, in anyway for an establishment serving food. I still have the photos to prove this review.…

Stayed here on our trip home from Scotland. The bedroom was adequate. Disappointed in coming back from our evening meal to find the hotel at 10pm was all locked up. The breakfast was very good and the staff were pleasant.
