Best Hotels near Benbecula Park, East Kilbride

The Torrance hotel chose our school, St Vincent’s primary in East Kilbride, to benefit from their community give back Christmas parties. Primary 1 and 2 went one week and primary 3 and 4 the next (the latter I attended as a parent helper). We cannot thank the staff enough, who gave up their time voluntarily to provide such a special occasion for our children. There was a fantastic dj, face painter, entertainer, chef, waiting staff and many more who all put in such a shift that I can hardly believe they did it for free. Their enthusiasm and attention to detail was wonderful to see and greatly appreciated. The Manorview Group provided us with transport, the tables were beautifully decorated, there was plentiful food, juice, ice cream, sweeties, dancing competitions, goody bags and a visit from the main man himself, Santa. What an absolute treat this was and one the children (and adults alike) will remember forever. Thank you so much for providing a magical Christmas experience for the kids.

First class hotel with excellent staff and rooms,I stay here every week while working up Scotland. The rooms are modern and spotless with everything you need. All of the staff who I have got to know over the last year are excellent at there jobs and can’t do enough for you.breakfast is very good with plenty of choices, evening meals are good also. I would definitely stop here with my family rather than just for work

Bedroom spacious, but thereafter not good. King-size mattress on a double bed base meaning it was easy to roll out of bed if you ended up on the unsupported edge The duvet was sticking well out of the cover, and it was filthy and worn, disgusting. Bathroom had peeling paint, and no shaving mirror. Shower worked well, but surrounds and seals pretty mouldy. Bedside lights could only be switched on / off from one side, inconvenient The TV remote control was disgusting, filthy and worn out with no numbers visible. Absolutely thick with dust and worse. Bathroom basin not cleaned (2 night stay). Tea tray left dirty and not even wiped after first night, although was replenished. Food -greatly overpriced for below average mass produced basic food. Serving staff were reasonable first night, rubbish 2nd night. Some food cold by the time it was served. Breakfast, poorly laid out. Scoops impossible to use in the curved cereal serving bowls, picking up about 3 cornflakes at a time. Eggs tough as boots. Cracked / chipped glasses and mugs being put out for use. Hope never to return. Could be really nice with some investment, but currently the worst IHG hotel I have stayed in anywhere.

I really wanted to leave a great review for this hotel. We stayed for an ultimate spa break to celebrate my daughter finishing her exams and leaving school. She was really looking forward to it. Our initial impressions were good, the grounds are beautiful and the reception staff were attentive and friendly. When we reached our room we were a bit disappointed as the room wasn’t to the same standard as other McDonald hotels we have stayed in and sadly that became our constant thought throughout the whole stay. The decor is very tired and the whole place could do with an overhaul. Paper peeling from walls, we had tissue paper stuck underneath the handles on the windows to keep them closed. The relaxation room of the spa was horrible as the ceiling looked mouldy and the paper was peeling off the walls. We had dinner the first night. We had looked at the menu online however it was totally different when we went into the restaurant and the choices weren’t great. We ordered cocktails and both agreed they were the worst cocktails we had ever had, they cost £9.95 each and I didn’t drink mjne at all. Breakfast the next morning was shambolic, there was 8 of us in the restaurant and the staff were running around like headless chickens saying they were so busy and tables weren’t cleaned, we waited a ridiculous length of time to order our food and it took forever to come. We had afternoon tea booked as part of the deal, again it wasn’t great. It had obviously been made well in advance of our booking time and the break on the sandwiches were hard and the cakes cheap and uninteresting. We ate out elsewhere our second evening. We both enjoyed our spa treatments which helped rescue the weekend. Breakfast on our final morning was better as it was a buffet style although we had to wait ages to ask staff for plates as there were none available to lift up (apparently the plate warmer was broken so they weren’t leaving plates out). I think that the staff of Crutherland House are doing the best they can however something has gone wrong with the running of this hotel and it needs attention . We wouldn’t recommend it to friends and next time will go somewhere else

We got married at Crossbasket in 2021 having a small wedding. We had previously visited the castle (prior to booking our wedding) and the service is the best we have received in Scotland. From booking our venue to the morning after our wedding the staff at Crossbasket were fantastic and couldn't do enough. The manager Rob, met us to show us around the castle when it wasn't officially open, he took the time to answer any questions we had and was fantastic. Vicki the wedding coordinator accommodated all of our requests and every member of staff went above and beyond on the day. We handed in a small bag of items which my husband planned to set up on the day, when he arrived every detail had been done for him. This allowed for a stress free enjoyable morning. We were married in the main castle and had our reception in the Stewart room. This suited our needs and despite covid restrictions at the time our day felt perfectly 'normal' (in line with the restrictions allowed). Our guests stayed in a few rooms which are huge and so comfy. We stayed in the Macintosh room which was stunning. My husband and I are looking forward to returning and staying again. The food was excellent with lots of choice and flavour. The roux menu is some of the nicest food we have ever had. We have since visited two ICMI properties and have to say they really set the standard for service and food across Scotland. We most recently stayed at Cromlix which similarly to Crossbasket had food to die for and service above the standard. This is something we highly recommend and we look forward to trying out other ICMI properties. Thank you to all the staff, if you are looking for a wedding venue (whether it be for 5 to 200 people!) we highly recommend this venue. Also to comment all of our suppliers had lovely things to say about the venue. Our makeup artist said it is her favourite venue to work with as they are so accommodating!

We travelled from Ireland to stay in your premises for 3 nights. Everything seemed OK on arrival. We went to the room but I had to make a complaint to reception about the shower which was not working correctly ( as stated on your website ensuite rooms are refurbished to luxurious standards), I wouldn't call a shower hose from a mixer tap luxurious. To this I didn't get a satisfactory answer. We left immediately without having  a good inspection of the room as we were pushed for time to meet with friends for dinner. On return that evening as we were about to go to bed we pulled back the bed clothes and saw what looked like body hairs  on dirty sheets. On closer examination we saw a filthy duvet cover, undersheet and a badly stained mattress which was absolutely disgusting. There was also a bad smell from the bathroom among other descrepencies which I won't go into now. We made the decision not to stay so I went to reception to complain and request the return of my payment as the room was not fit for purpose and I feel that it was mis sold to us. I brought your supervisor to the room and  Of course he dismissed my complaint and queried why we left it so late to bring this matter to his attention in a way that was condescending to me even after explaining  the reason. This was extremely inconvenient as we had to find elsewhere to accommodate us at short notice which proved costly, having to book into numerous hotels to cover our trip.
