What guests think

Across reviews of OYO Dunmar House Hotel, travellers consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff and the tasty breakfasts and meals, while enjoying the historic charm, open fires, and attractive gardens that give the property a peaceful, characterful setting.

However, many note the building and driveway need TLC, and rooms are often dated with uncomfortable mattresses and occasional maintenance issues such as weak showers, faulty toilets or taps. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with several guests finding rooms spotless but repeated reports of damp or mold, plus occasional tired linens and a housekeeping miss. The location feels quiet and tucked away yet remains convenient for Alloa, Stirling and nearby attractions. Best for travellers who value historic charm and a quiet setting over modern rooms.

This is a very nice little hotel. My room and bathroom were very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room felt more like a room in a home rather than a hotel room. I had supper in the restaurant (braised beef) and it was delicious. Breakfast was made to order and was also good. They have a beautiful grounds…like a small park. Google Maps took me to the wrong street; just follow the sign. I would definitely go back.

Everything we needed for a 1 night stay. The staff were very attentive, extremely helpful and made the stay enjoyable. The food was great and the prices very reasonable. A lovely garden area for families to enjoy and to soak up the sun. Although it could do with a little updating it was a very enjoyable stay.

Potentially a beautiful building but it’s very very scruffy . Bathroom was pretty nasty, ceiling cracked & looked as though it is about to cave in. Curtains are old & grubby, windows are Rowton & paintwork flaking everywhere. Ridiculously expensive for what is offered. Staff were excellent & they were the saving grace . !. It would seem the owner doesn’t really care about the condition of his property. The drive way is a pot holed liability for your cars suspension.

A lovely old Scottish building, full of charm and character which is sadly lacking in modern multi-chain hotel groups. The staff were all absolutely lovely - very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable, equipped with tea/coffee facilities, and a well-stocked bathroom. We were eating out in the evenings, but the breakfasts were wholesome, well-cooked, and with excellent choices. This was our second visit, and we will certainly be back any time we wish to stay in this area. Recommended.

We stayed at this hotel for one night following a graduation. We were in room 6 and had difficulty finding the room as it was through a closed door and down a corridor with no lights on. The room we stayed in had a double bed and a single bed and was very spacious and the bathroom had both a shower and a bath. However the decoration was very outdated with brown, damp marks on the ceiling and the floor was peeling. The beds were very uncomfortable and we were able to feel each individual spring. The breakfast was good, lots of options and made to order. Staff were friendly.

Beautiful old hotel. Well maintained and comfortable. We booked 2 nights. We had to remind ourselves that we were in Scotland and things were different than we were use to. The bed was uncomfortable and the top cover was too small for the bed. Either we did not know how to flush the toilet or it wasn’t working properly. We reported it to the staff. It was like priming a pump to get it to flush. Don’t know, in this beautiful old house, that might be normal.
