Wheyrigg Hall Hotel  

We chose the hotel because it was close to where we needed to be the following day. We didn't expect luxury so there were no disappointments. The hotel is best described as "adequate" and comfortable with loads of character. The staff were, without exemption, very friendly and helpful and that contributed enormously to making a pleasant stay. Food was excellent. For us the location was perfect, and the surroundings are quiet and rural, which wouldn't suit everyone but it was fine for us. Seems well patronised by friendly locals, whichis always a good sign.

The only problem was none of the hotels making. We didn't get a ticket for the all-night door slamming competition which was being held by a bunch of drunks who were apparently staying there while working nearby. If it was possible to slam a door, they did, and they were using the fire exit fos special slamming as they went outside to smoke - this carried on till about four A.M. then started again about 6a.M.! Some people have no manners or consideration for others. This was in stark contraxt to the pleasant people running the hotel.

A very cheerful reception from all the staff - treated almost like family. The food was far above our expectations; the Cullen Skink was mouthwatering, and the venison and lamb superb. Not fancy cooking, but good local ingredients cooked properly and served well. Huge portions, too.

Friendly staff and proprieters made us feel right at home. The accommodation and food were excellent, with the location being ideal for getting out and about to explore. We would highly recommend the hotel and will definitely use it again. It offers real value for money and it was a pleasure to stay there.

Very friendly proprietors and staff. Nice quiet location. Clean,warm and well equipped rooms and overall excellent value (superb breakfast !!) We would definitely stay there again.

The bed in our room was rather too firm/hard for our comfort....but then we find this in most reasonably priced accomodation (probably our age!). Not really a complaint;more a personal observation.

Very spacious and well planned family room, comfortable facilities. We have stayed for one night only and I am unable to evaluate the food except for a very generous full English breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Value for money with food better than expectations

The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Really good value for money. We had booked three rooms- all the rooms were good sized, very clean and well appointed. We had access to free Wi-Fi. The Hotel was quiet during the night ensuring a good nights rest. Very happy with the food for choice, quality and service. All in a very successful trip. The Hotel location was well suited for touring both Coast and inland. I will recommend to family and friends and will definitely visit again.

Very friendly hotel, staff and regulars make you very welcome

from arrival to departure,I found the staff very professional and friendly,rooms very clean and tidy.Food was excellent and the prices very reasonable,on the whole I enjoyed my stay very much.Thank you.

Very good breakfast, staff friendly.

They had no record of our booking and luckily had some rooms left anyway. This was despite me receiving a confirmation email from yourselves. They said that this had happened the previous week also except that they had no rooms left! This is a local drinking establishment and the bar was packed and we did not feel comfortable in there at all. The room was very dated, the TV didn't work and the shower was abysmal.

A proper pub & hotel with good food.

Very friendly and helpful. Great value for money
