My Mum and I went to Crutherland Hotel today 14/10/24 for a spa day. I honestly can’t begin to say how fantastic it was. From the minute we stepped through the door we were met with the warmest welcome. …

Booked in for an overnight with 2 spa treatments. The staff were lovely and obviously trying their best but this place has definitely seen better days. I expected more from a hotel that used to have a good reputation. …

We booked through Itison for a spa treatment and use of the facilies. In the past you used to get lunch too but our voucher sadly didn't include this. The massage itself with Beth was fantastic.  …

Esteemed Management,I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the accommodations provided during my recent stay at your hotel. I had the misfortune of booking a luxury room for a wedding, only to discover that it was in a deplorable condition. The room was not only filthy but also presented several safety hazards, including plug sockets hanging off the wall and a bathroom extractor fan held together with tape.Upon reporting these issues to the reception, I was offered an alternative room for the night, which unfortunately was not much of an improvement. Despite assurances that the maintenance team would address the problems and the room would undergo a thorough deep cleaning, neither of these promises was fulfilled.Upon returning to the original room, I was dismayed to find that the only cleaning that had been done was to half of the bathroom floor. This lack of attention to detail and disregard for the well-being of your guests is unacceptable.I feel strongly that the amount I paid for this room was not commensurate with the quality of the accommodations provided. The substandard conditions not only detracted from the enjoyment of my stay but also caused significant inconvenience and frustration.I have several photographs that clearly depict the state of the room, should you wish to review them. I trust that you will take appropriate action to rectify this situation and ensure that future guests do not encounter similar issues.I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.Sincerely,T weldon & p wier

Room was spacious and comfortable as long as you stayed on one side of the bed. The curtains didn’t do a lot to block out the light at night and early in the morning. Bathroom was fine but a bit dated. The still and sparkling water taps in the corridor were a nice touch. The staff at dinner were very friendly and accommodating and the food was nice. Would recommend the haggis bonbons. Breakfast was included and was fairly standard.

The building makes a very nice impression from the outside, unfortunately, our room did not meet our expectations. The hotel staff were polite, but we didn't get any feedback when we asked for an earlier breakfast time. Quiet location.

I had a voucher for Sunday Lunch so my wife and I went along hoping for a good meal. The food was good but the service was appalling .Out booking was 4.00 o'clock and there were 3 other tables occupied when we arrived. …

Lovely, older style hotel. It has lost a bit of its finest but still a nice overnight and spa. Great pool and sauna was nice but steam room kept breaking down. We had an overnight with DBB, the dinner was really tasty but very pricey even with the 30 per person allowance. Breakfast was great, good produce, well made and for a buffet it actually felt like a lot or care had been taken.

Dated and disgusting hotel, desperately needs to be refurbished. I stayed in room 107, there was a damp patch in the corner and the carpet was stained from what looks like an ongoing damp issue or leak. The bedding was stained and the bed backs onto the lift, so enjoy listening to that continuously whilst trying to sleep.I booked 2 x optional breakfast but then contacted them in advance to say only one breakfast was required, I had to contact them repeatedly to try and cancel this breakfast to no avail, they have now said they are unable to remove this from the booking. Terrible customer service and no one is helpful, I would no recommend or return.

Was here for a wedding, the place is in need of major TLC. The hallways, rooms, bar and lift need refurbishment. Rooms are spacious and clean, bed was comfy enough. Food from the restaurant was average and was just a bit underwhelmed at the fact its branded as a spa hotel. The pool was nice but closes too early if you wanted to go a swim after dinner.
