My wife & I were with friends for the murder mystery overnight stay, we plan to return early 2024 with other friends. Absolutely brilliant show if you have an open mind & sense of humour. Food was good, rooms were good, staff were good. Looking forward to seeing you folks again. Well done, Tom

Stayed last night with friends and family, staff were lovely, food was good and great fun. Highly recommend here for a great break. The denouement of the murder mystery is in the morning which some of us missed! It didn't affect our fun . We hope to return some time soon.

My family and I went for the murder mystery night at the Winnock Hotel in September. We weren't sure what to expect, but ended up having an wonderful time. The cast had a great sense of humour, and were fantastic. We couldn't recommend the murder mystery evening enough, was an experience to remember. The dinner, drinks and rooms were lovely. Great breakfast and really warm staff. Would greatly recommend the murder mystery night! Thanks very much :)

I booked the murder mystery weekend for my daughter and husband, so I'm leaving a review in relation to that only. It spuned really good, and I'd looked at lots of places, but it was in fact very disappointing. It was just not much at all really. The actors came and introduced themselves, then someone went out choking - the presumed murdered. The they were asked to discuss and ask questions and that was it for the night. The next morning the actors were there as themselves having breakfast. This was before they had come in announcing who the murderer was. This is the main reason for the poor review. It broke the spell completely. If they were going to have breakfast with the guests they should at least have had it in charachter. After breakfast the murderer was announced. It was very anti-climatic. I'm very disappointed as my daughter had been looking forward to it and had wanted to go a murder mystery stay for ages…

My review is for what passed as a Murder Mystery night at the hotel, not the hotel itself although am sad that acts like the one we endured are still being booked. Racist, misogynistic, homophobic, disablist, sizeist - an act that might have been acceptable in the 1970s but should have no place in 2023. We did complain to the manager who handled it well and has provided a complimentary voucher and the one good thing that will come out of it is that we can pass it on to a friend in need of a break as we won't be back. The hotel, staff and food were good but shouldn't be advertising a poor Jim Davidson tribute act as a Murder Mystery. The only mystery being why is this act still in business?

The room was spacious and a walk in shower as requested. But there was a lot of black sealant in the shower area. This suggests to me that it isn't being cleaned properly, also the drains were quite smelly and it wasn't just in our room but throughout the hotel. Rather a small wash basin and no shelf above for toiletries. The dining room used for coach parties, which we were on was very cramped around the table we were on, so the dining experience was not enjoyable. One of the dining room staff was quite rude when we asked for some toast, this we reported to management. On two mornings we had to ask for water. Why every one has to be in the dining room at the same time especially for breakfast is beyond me when people are queuing up. It is all too regimented. I think smaller tables would be a much better experience for everyone when you don't have to keep asking others to pass things over. …

Firstly I would like to say the staff apart from one manager are brilliant however from the start it wasn’t great I booked a murder mystery weekend but was given no information on this I had to phone and ask when arriving we parked right outside the door as it didn’t say other wise and the staff didn’t discourage this so thought all would be well. The room was average the light had a dead spider which was nice directly over the bed there was cobwebs and the bathroom wasn’t the most up to date with chips in the bath and tiles. The night of the murder mystery was good and we had the conclusion in the morning to look forward to after breakfast but while we were just about to eat the not so great breakfast a staff member informed us our car window had been smashed by one of the regulars who drinks in their bar. The manager took 3 days to get back to me and only because I phoned her. Her attitude was simply couldn’t care less not her problem sorry it happen it what did I want her to do about it. We didn’t even get to find out the killer of the mystery…

No choice to rate it 3.5 as 3 is less than I’d like to rate and 4 is too much. To start I’d like to say that the staff are very friendly and a couple of the issues are outwith the hotels hands but my biggest gripe was that the beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable, when lying in my back to watch tv, it actually was hurting my spine. The second issue was the noise from other guests in the morning walking past your room, this is not the fault of the hotel but really frustrating when trying to rest. The water from the tap, despite there being a sign to say it was very hot, was dangerously hot, ok for us, as adults, but our son is 10 and I had to advise him to use the cold tap to wash his hands. Tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but no biscuits, thought this was standard in most hotels and is a nice touch. This hotel is very much built for tourists who don’t know any better, but a couple of small fixes would encourage more local people to visit (we are from West Lothian) more often. Aside from the above, the room was to a reasonable standard, great towels and bedding was clean and fresh, good choice of tv channels, Netflix etc. A couple of small fixes would make this hotel great.…

This hotel has the most wonderful friendly staff who are all very doggie friendly and we enjoyed our ovet night stay .its got a great atmosphere and I knew as soon as we pulled up it had a long history . We were slightly dissapointed that the lady who took the booking forgot to make two single beds into one like she suggested to do when we booked .and there was no hand wash over the sink or the shower .both were empty yhere were tea and coffee but no biscuits unfortunately I understand alot of hotels don't offer this but even with allergys which was what the reception said just a couple of shortbread would have been nice . The staff in the hotel really worked hard in the bar area and the receptionist was extremely nice and our little daisy rose doggie had so many lovely cuddles and treats ut made up for the few little niggles . Our evening meal was lovely and plenty of options for me as a vegetarian . Our breakfast was lovely and we really appreciated your kindness thank you so much we hope to see you again .…
