The Gables Hotel

We booked this hotel for one night on our way to the Highlands. The only thing that I would rate highly here is the staff friendliness, otherwise absolutely terrible place! Our superior quadruple room was worse than any hostel around the world I have ever stayed at. It was incredibly dated, bathroom smelled badly of urine, it wasn't clean, floor in the bathroom wasn't even mopped, we found human hair ( and body hair) over the bathroom floor, toilet, in the bath, everything was stained, dirty and sooo grubby, genuinely an awful room for the money! We tried to find some alternative accommodation locally at the last minute, but nothing was available. We also had our return journey booked there, but we cancelled it immediately and booked another hotel instead, as it just was that awful. For almost £200 per night, this was just shocking, shocking standard. When I went through the reviews, I noticed the family room has had the same feedback in the past, with people refusing to even stay there, unfortunately I didn't do my homework well enough to read through all the reviews, instead I just looked at a few recent ones. The staff there was very pleasant and apologetic, they are genuinely the only good thing about the place.

Beautiful looking hotel, was staying as attending a wedding nearby.. lovely, very welcoming and polite staff, clean n tidy hotel , though could do with updating rooms ..they were exceptionally clean and comfortable with ample car parking

Worst hotel we have EVER stayed in! Came for the weekend for a wedding. No hot water. Staff very unhelpful and very unprofessional. Waiter who was running the wedding tipped a full tray of Prosecco over the bride and bridesmaid! Food not edible at the wedding breakfast or evening meal. Told they were short staffed but didn’t see the manager until we complained when leaving. Owner and owners son very rude when complained to them! The rooms are awful so dated and dirty. Very noisy, the fire doors are loud, you can hear when someone flushes the toilet in the room above. Window didn’t shut and we were on the ground floor, view of over grown shrubs! Mould and dirt in the bathroom, cobwebs and dust everywhere. DO NOT STAY HERE!

On arrival at the hotel very impressive on the outside, the room we had needed to be upgraded and cleaned properly drawers missing at bed side bathroom need to be replaced and also cleaned properly door was very dirty the photo I have put on is the presentation of the mike coffee etc not what you wound expect The receptionist on arrival was very friendly and helpful as was the restaurant staff and food was good but the receptionist on in the morning was unfriendly and looked like she just got out of bed hair look still wet not a good impression to leave on Their is a charge for our furry family don’t know why as nothing except bowls were in the room most people travelling with dogs would have there own bowls

This was a wedding the worst experience I have ever had arrived no hot water in wedding party's room ....no rooms ready for the wedding Barman dropped full tray of wine all over the bride... the food for the reception and evening meal uneatable

Booked bed breakfast and dinner. Dinner was very disappointing taste less pate cold meat pie frozen chips of poor quality complained and asked for a refund of the dinners costs was advised a refund would be forthcoming but could not tell me how much that was sunday now Friday still no refund tried ringing put no knows what there doing. Very unprofessional needless to say we will never go back.

Stayed here for 5 nights for a wedding party. The bar staff, cleaners, waitresses & managers were fantastic and attentive! The outside of the hotel is maintained and well kept. The location is ideal for walking and driving as there's shops, pubs, and more all within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. My personal preference the room could do with updating, however the bed is comfortable & bath is lovely. It's perfect for a few nights away! The chefs do an an amazing Breakfast and dinner every time. Jane and Ewan went above and beyond to make our time comfortable and enjoyable! From the boys room 37 🤗

The location is ok but the rooms are so dated and have no air conditioning. The bathroom was dirty with stained grouting and the lampshades were cracked and broken. The paint around the light switches and plugs was dirty and the carpet from the bathroom to the bedroom had lifted and was a trip hazard. Furniture was very dated and the food was average at best but overpriced. The staff were helpful and friendly but wasn’t significant enough to make up for the state of the hotel.

I got the feeling the hotel was used a lot for weddings and as such is ideal for single nights. Not sure I would want to stay any longer really. Lovely staff though and very chatty. Bar area small but had a few nice beers and a local gin too. Room was a bit spartan and felt it needed a bit of a revamp.
