Been with family also and always had a great meal.

Lovely food

Dirty woodwork on windows .. windows let in a hell of a draught & noise .. The single bed in the room was a joke .. mattress should been in the skip a long time ago .. The bathroom tiles / silicone were dirty .. The towel rail was broken and could see wires .. the shower door was put on back to front & upside down making it impossible to turn on the shower without getting soaked .. Floor tiles in the bathroom broken infront of the loo  so sunk down when you stood on them .. Intermittent WiFi to our room which was off more than on .. I used up a LOT of data because of this .. Karaoke under our room on the saturday night ..was very loud .. only good thing about this place was some of the staff & the nice breakfast .. Everything looks like it needs a good scrub

Won't be back

My wife, daughter and I visited the restaurant for an early evening meal. I had pre-booked for 5pm, but as we were hungry, I phoned and our booking was readily changed to 4:15pm. The menus were brought and an excellent selection for my wife and I, but nothing vegan for my daughter. The waitress popped into see the Chef, and broght back a list of vegan starters and mains, apologising that these were not on a printed menu. Drinks arrived quickly, and our food order taken. The vegan choise was Mini Garlic Doughballs followed by Vegan Pasta. We had Haggis Fritters and Creamy Mushrooms on Toast (which came with a soft poached egg on top) followed by the classis Steak Pie for my wife and a huge fish and chips for me. The food was really enjoyed by all and we commented on the thoughtful presenation of the food on the plates. Service was attentive, pleasant and efficient. With two soft drinks, one large red wine and two coffees the total was £75.40. Excellent value and an enjoyable experience.

Excellent value and an enjoyable experience.

We were taken out for an anniversary dinner with my parents.  We had high tea and there was a good selection to choose from on the menu. 
All good was delicious and served quickly.
Way too much to eat from the dessert tray but we tried!!
Service was very friendly and we had a lovely evening. 
The only negative is that the room is very echoey so the sound seems to carry from everyone else around.  Next time, we're going to ask to be seated in the area to the left when walking in to see if it's a little better. 

We've never been before and there are some great offers so will definitely be back!

High tea highly recommended 

Had a wonderful break to celebrate an anniversary, a lovely meal, and a very fulfilling breakfast.
Excellent staff who were very accommodating  and interacted well. 
Parking a little constrained but nonetheless took nothing from the stay

Welcome break

Had my wedding at the laurel bank hotel on Saturday 16th September. A twilight wedding. Everything was spot on. Married upstairs the down to the hall for the reception. A great venue and the food was very good. Lee Murray the manager was brilliant with the planning. On the day he was great. He plays our music for the ceremony. The staff Al helpful and cheery. The skinny and decor was supplied by big Stevie’s entertainment. Again very good. I would recommend the whole thing to anyone wanting to get married.

My wedding

The hosts Sue and Gary exceptional customer service they couldn’t do enough for you
Their knowledge of local area is impressive 
They provide recommendations and overall the loveliest couple. The room was little small but very clean and tidy and even provided bath robes 

Laurel Bank Guest House 

First comment - the food was good! Now for the review. This booking for 9 people was for a family celebration of “the elders” 70th (platinum) wedding anniversary. A deposit was paid in advance special table decorations were delivered to the hotel on the morning of the meal. The staff were asked if the hotel sold alcohol free wines (for the drivers wanting to be part of the toast) and the answer was no. When asked if a bottle of this beverage could be brought it was agreed at a corkage price of £8! A close family friend had ordered and paid for (out with the knowing of those attending) a drinks package of wines and soft drinks. Upon arrival the table, although decorated, was set for 8 not 9. Cutlery was only laid for one (main course?) and menus were placed. Drinks, starters and mains were ordered. The hotel was exceptionally busy and the staff were swamped which is maybe why they seemed incapable of being engaging nor able to smile! The starters were served and they were very good. The table was cleared and the mains brought. There was no fresh cutlery and it had to be asked for. By the time we got it some of the dishes were getting cold. The food was good. At no time were we asked if “all was ok”, nobody asked if we wanted more drinks and after eating sweets or coffees were never offered. The staff, except one young male called Callum, continued to be unfriendly, unprofessional and completely incapable of “happiness”. The lounge/restaurant was exceptionally loud and the seating so uncomfortable it was simply dire! The bill had to be obtained after being requested and was got from the bar. The deposit had not been subtracted but the corkage had been added. The paid for drinks by the family friend never appeared! Overall this whole experience ruined what should have been a lovely celebration of an elderly couples amazing achievement of 70 years of marriage. Another celebration with friends has been booked in the near future but it will be cancelled. SHOCKING and cannot be recommended. The Laurel Bank Hotel has an opportunity to thrive in an area which is a desert in terms of good eating places. It has failed miserably.

Simply avoid until the owners/management get their act together. Exceptionally poor at best!

The noise til the early hours was so loud we had to spend a night in the car.
The staff did confirm that they had had a lot of complaints about the noise.
I asked for a refund but manager not available. 
Do not stay here if you want some sleep

terrible

Came here after my wedding ceremony with my family. The photos on website do not show reality.  I was embarrassed and disappointed with the reality. The woman at reception was rude & bored. Zero welcome. The waitress was just as bad. The floors were filthy and the staff more interested in talking to each other than asking how the meal is or if we needed anything. They just serve you and don’t come near again until you’re forced to go to bar to pay your bill. Because no one’s coming to the table. The food was good but sadly the unfriendly attitude from staff ruined the experience. The use of the f word from the waitress because the barman accidentally spilt water on her shoe in front of customers was something I’ve never seen before. Keep the chef and sack the staff.
