Showers are ridiculously pathetic, just a dribble and the rooms are so hot with windows that don’t open

Good location, dog friendly and welcoming staff

Stayed in May 2024

Few of the 'facilities' were actually available during the stay, even the restaurant was limited hours. Whilst the staff sought to accommodate for this, it worked for me, but would would possibly not work for others

The staff went above and beyond when needed

Tired decor, needs some tlc in the bedroom. Fan in bathroom didn't turn off so had to use master switch. Lot of noise from road.

Good size room, location good for visiting family nearby. Nice new carpet in the hallway.

There wasn't much around the hotel like a local shop so was a bit isolated the hotel room was beautiful the bed was a little uncomfortable so tossed and turned all night

The staff very very friendly, the hotel was clean and tidy, our room was nice too

Bathroom could be better. Toilet flushed not very well, long wait for warm water, mirror light not working in room 10

Nice surroundings, comfortable bed, good food, excellent service

It’s a pity the spa has not been rebuilt following the fire a few years ago, I think it was an added attraction to the hotel.

The food and service were very good and the staff were helpful and accommodating. We have stayed there several times before and have always enjoyed our visits. We once brought our daughter and granddaughter and they enjoyed it too.

The exterior of the hotel and car park could do with a spruce-up. It was a pleasant surprise to step into reception and find the outside of the hotel did not reflect the inside.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner were great and served by friendly staff.

Staff, service and food was great.

We had no hot water at all during our stay. The restaurant was closed the day we were there but not stated on the website that it closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We found the breakfast to be expensive for what we had.

The room was nice and the breakfast was nice.

Toilet layout - bowl too close to bath and unsteady. No hot water coming through in sink, and several minute wait for hot bath water. No dinner service on Tuesday. Bed base needs replacing.

Comfortable bed mattress and coffee /tea making facilities. Clean room service. Good bar service and friendly staff on reception and in restaurant. Food very good.

Shower in the bathroom wasn’t the best. Breakfast could have been a bit more generous ie 2 sausages not 1.

Room was large and very comfortable. Staff were all very friendly. Perfect location for the function we were attending locally.

Our room was very cold and very noisy by the main road. The bed was uncomfortable for us as it was soft and lumpy. We didn't get much sleep.

The room was clean and the breakfast was good!

The heating wasn’t working which wasn’t ideal however the staff were lovely and kindly brought us up a heater for the room.

We booked the garden suite. Stunning room with lots of space. Comfy bed.

Clearly The Popinjay is in need of substantial investment. The rooms are old and tired, there was a very peculiar smell in the corridor where our room was and the bathroom was in really poor condition. The heating was also set VERY low

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was a bit small, but well cooked and tasty.

The bathroom was a disability purpose wet room which I didn't expect or like. High toilet with no seat and a very low sink which I presume was for a wheelchair. As I was only staying for 1 night I did not find the need to complain.

The room was spacious with comfortable beds. Nicely decorated had all we needed for a 1 night stay over. We all had a meal late afternoon. The food was exceptional. We had a 2 course the starters were haggis the mains were Chicken stuffed with black pudding then wrapped in bacon. We sent our compliments to the chef as I have never tasted a meal so good. Menu prices were very good for the standard of the food I would have expected to pay much more.
