Only went for a Chinese takeaway.Service was polite and friendly.Waited in the restaurant which was empty with dated decor.Ordered mixed stay stay with no prawns.Was surprised to get 3 chicken skewers and only 1 beef skewer.Meat was all good quality.The sauce was what I would call an old style satay. It was fine, nothing special though.All in all the dish was good.The fired rice, rice grains were quite big.All in all I would give the place another go due to the quality of meat maybe just trying a different dish.

Great accommodation. Basic, but just what we needed for an overnight stay. Great welcome, and the rooms were tidy, clean, and ideal for our stay. Nice lounge to sit in if required. We could not fault it for the price. Just what we required. Enjoyed our overnight stay.

We were visiting Uddingston for a weekend for work. We were due to get to the hotel until after 11 and you have to check in before 11. After booking I spoke to Alan who said he would wait up for us to arrive. …

Rank rotten and overpriced. Small dark room and rude staff. Have about 5 massive goldfish in a tiny wee bowl, definitely one to avoid.
