Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

First and last, terrible experience. From being crammed in from the begging. To order all our food to be then be told we couldn’t have the beef satay starter or the beef chow mien at 5pm on a Saturday night. Once we then re picked...all our food the starters arrived and were ok. The mains were an absolute disaster. 3 salt and chilli chicken burgers which were the size of a whole chicken- not sure what’s going on here as it wasn’t even attractive that it was so big? Also nothing salt and chilli about the chicken burger itself apart from a few undercooked peppers and red onions chucked on top. It was so big it was off putting. One of the chicken burgers never arrived as there was a “mess up” in the kitchen and it would be a 6min wait. Fish and chips also never arrived and had to be asked if it was Breaded or battered (this is when 8 out of 10 already had there food) Cajun fries never arrived 10 mins after the mains and had to be sent back as the main had been finished. After our mains and starters a young server arrived with 2 Caesar salads? Eh? Not sure if it was a case of too much work load taken on. Under trained servers or what was going on but it was the worst experience ever dining out.More

Disappointing to be honest. Seemed to be short staffed. Food was far from warm enough. Finished starters & took ages to clear plates. Mains were far from warm enough. Standards definitely dropped.More

We stayed at the Parkville Hotel in 2022, so there was no hesitation to book again for a mini tour of Scotland with Mum and hubby in 2023. We stayed here for a break on our outward trip and again to break the journey on...our return home. The rooms were lovely and it was super to have the same room as last year. Food in the evening is amazing and at such a good price (especially the 2for1 offers), with the most wonderful restaurant staff. Excellent service, despite being so busy on both nights you were made to feel special. We had a little issue with the room on our return journey, which was dealt with immediately and the problem solved. This was done with real care for us, no embarrassment at raising the issue, the lady on duty was excellent. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this hotel. It is so convenient for the next phase of the journey, which for us was Stirling. Book this hotel, you will not be disappointed.More

Absolutely FANTASTIC! We were booked in for 19:30, we arrived 8 minutes early and they took our order rapid (we know what we like, didn’t even have to look at the menu) & within 5-10 minutes our soups arrived. Piping hot & fresh as can...be. Couldn’t fault a single thing for the starter. Not long thereafter our mains arrived. 2 steak pies with the most beautiful crust you can imagine and the most tender beef I’ve ever had. The roast potatoes were again piping hot and extremely freshly made. Lastly of course was dessert which was an ice cream sandwich (a scoop of ice cream between 2 cookies) and oh my goodness I’ve never had cookies so soft in my life. It was like subway cookies if they were thicker and tastier. But above all the service was absolutely amazing & that’s coming from someone in the hospitality trade so I notice every little thing (unwillingly) and honestly from table setting, to service, to banter. Everything was absolutely top notch. Our server (whose name slips my mind) he was an English guy & he was absolutely charming. Such a lovely character and personality and made sure our evening was as perfect as possible. Honestly can’t stop talking about this dinner I’m a big boy so I’ve had a lot of meals in my time and to say this was one of THE best would be an understatement of the century. The food, atmosphere & service was 12/10, above and beyond all expectations!!! I’m a regular for lunches & breakfasts because it tends to be quieter but after last night I’ll find it hard to not be visiting as often as possible. Extremely satisfied with the price as well. We had a good few drinks, 3 courses each & still would have had change from £100. Absolutely brilliant prices for the quality of food and service. Goes without saying the tip we left was fitting for the service we got. If I had more money on me it would have been more as well! Amazing experienceMore

I visited last night for dinner to celebrate my friend's Birthday. We each had 3 courses from the A la carte menu. My Goat's cheese and pear salad was delicious and my friend enjoyed her prawn cocktail. We followed these with a Chicken Parmigiano and...a Hunter's chicken. Both meals didn't disappoint. Onto dessert and we both went for the Nutella cheesecake. It was superb, light and very tasty. The presentation of all our dishes was very good. The waiting staff were friendly, welcoming and very attentive. The restaurant was very busy with every table filled but we had no long waiting times for our meals. We both agreed that it's one of the best dining experiences we've had here and we have been visiting for years. After dinner we went through to the bar for a cocktail and a few drinks before heading home. Great atmosphere and very busy again but we were served quickly by the friendly bar staff. All in all a great visit.More
