Kirkhouse Inn

Inconvenient location and nice staff The staff are quite friendly and nice. The location is... a bit hard to say. If you are a nature lover, u probably enjoy the walk in the neighborhood. There're hills and nice houses nearby. Around 5 min walk from the hotel, there's a nice track called Strathblane Railway Path. But if you want to get to the city centre, and you can't drive, you can only get there by a bus which is 50 min ride (note that it's 1 to 2 hour frequency). I waited for the bus at the buschanan bus station on Saturday at 7pm (it's scheduled at 7:10pm) and the bus went missing. I asked staff at the bus station and they told me to find the help desk but it was closed and the hotline was also shut down. I waited for the next bus at 8:35pm and luckily it did arrive. So make sure you check the bus schedule if you are going for a tour/taking train in the city centre!!!

Lamentable experience at the Kirkhouse Inn for a family meal for 3pm, which ended with a walkout and no meal! Arrived to find no table settings for booking made a couple weeks earlier, even though we'd called back of 2pm to say we were running late. People joining us had arrived first and felt no one knew they were coming.. Place was dead - we know why now - and dirty dishes to be collected from neighbouring table. A very young bar staff member went to get manager when we asked what was going on? When no one arrived at our adopted table, we went back out to bar and the young staff member went again to get a manager. This person listed to my by now indignant complaint but there was no sense of contrition or regret and merely said, we will sort it - no sense that it was just not up to standard experience or regret gorbour disappointing reception. I suggested testily that an apology might be warranted and headed back to the waiting party, in the off chance the manager might come to table. We waited and waited. No sign of anyone. We decided to phone the reliable Glazert Country House in Lennoxtown and secured a great table, lovely food and friendly service instead. They made our day! Kirkhouse Inn, you really really have to pull your socks up. We will not be back until you do. Poor poor show for a once popular casual eating spot.

Lovely hotel Lovely place, very clean and comfortable rooms. We had a a bit of an issue at check in, we had booked a family room which turned out to be a double bed and a trundle bed which they brought up. The trundle bed was not fit for purpose really, it didn't look safe to sleep on. Couldn't fault the staff or the manager though, they were very helpful and made sure to try and resolve the issue for us straight away. The bar and restaurant area of the hotel is lovely, it was really cosy and relaxing. We had dinner in the restarant both nights we stayed and all the meals were were great, couldnt fault any of it. Would recommend this hotel but just be wary if you are booking a family room as it is not actually family room that you are getting.
