i have used the Woodlands Hotel on several occasions and it is always clean and in good order, The rooms i book are large and very clean and comfortable. The food is pretty good but has a limited menu. the bar and restaurant area is very comfortable and the waiters are very good. if i have one gripe, it is that you now charge £5.00 to use the pool/sauna, where it was always included in your room rate. i dont know of any other hotel who does this. but as i said it is only a small gripe and will not deter me from staying hear again.

The place is so lovely and welcoming, staff are attentive and so friendly. The choice of food was excellent and what we ordered was delicious . The only thing that let it down a bit was the room wasn’t as clean as it could have been and the next day clean wasn’t done properly. We spoke to manager and she sorted it straight away. Will definitely stay again . Beautiful four poster bed was nice suprise. We joined the Best Western membership that lets you know about offers etc . All in all thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay.

The room was run down. Some things were easy fixes such as holes in the lampshades and grout coming off the floor as you walked on it. It was far too warm and we had to keep our window open the whole time listening to noise. The remote was grubby, there were stains in the bathroom and the wardrobe was dusty. If we had another choice at the time, we wouldnt have stayed. The staff was lovely though.

Property was clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful. Check in was swift and well organised. Only issue was the temperature. With the warm weather the room was sweltering and there was no way to cool it down. Even with the windows open as far as possible and the portable fan fully on the room was unbearably hot. With a young child this was not ideal.

The updated rooms are really nice. The older ones need updating. You get charge extra to use the leisure suite which I don’t agree with. Breakfast is ok. If it’s not buffet you get 1 of each item which I feel it makes it not worth the £12.50.

Room was unbearablly hot, no heating was on and there is only an old fan in the room to try keep it cool..Think I was above the spa area and this could be the cause of the relentless heat...There is a fairly awkward arrangement between the bar and restaurant for food and the tv in the bar is rather small and poorly placed. There is a decent selection of largers and nice outdoor sitting area, rooms were clean and serived daily...The tv in the room is of a good size and larger than the one in the lounge bar..

No one on reception when we arrived. Had to walk round the hotel to find someone. You now have to pay to use their leisure suite. A bit of warning about that would have been nice. Our breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. I think they need to do some customer service training though. All in all didn’t live up to its price tag. I would go to Carnoustie Golf Hotel in future.

This is listed as a 3-star hotel but it has 5 star heart. The hotel is a wee bit tired but it makes up for it with how clean and airy the rooms the restaurant and the bar area and the whole hotel is spotless. Many hotels list family-friendly but that really only means facilities not with this Hotel this is the best family-friendly I have ever been to. The management and the staff make this hotel the wee gem it is nothing too much bother and smiling faces greet you. This family gives them 5 stars and without a doubt, we will be back...Oh, and the brekkie and evening meals were fab and my grandson who is 4 didn't want to leave. Thank you all for making our stay so relaxed.
