蓋博爾斯酒店(The Gables Hotel)

Outstanding customer service, amazingly friendly staff, extremely pet friendly, fabulous breakfast. In short, there's not enough superlatives to do the Gables Hotel justice. It will be our go to place to stay on trips between Scotland and England

Enjoyed our two night stay. Hotel is well situated just a couple of miles off the motorway in a quiet location. Very attractive building with large extension at the back in similar style. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Rooms were quiet and clean. We dined both evenings. Reasonable choice and large platefuls! Waiter did have a tendency to want to clear plates very quickly!

Place was so quiet and relaxing staff were lovely nothing was a problem to them .

We were met by a member of staff on arrival who has been there for many years and is always very pleasant and helpful with any questions we ask so we’ll done to you we went for breakfast and although the porridge was not to our liking the rest of it was very good and good value for money also the member of staff who served us was very chatty and friendly so we’ll done to you too we will be back again next year as we’ve been visiting your hotel for many years and it’s great value

We were here to look at it for a wedding venue. The whole place was cold tired and dirty. The receptionist could not be bothered to get out of her chair to check us in. Staff wearing coats. Plastic table cloths and microwaved food. Partner had upset stomach the following morning. Mould in bathroom. Shockingly bad.

Hotel looked nice from the outside but very deceiving once you walk through the door. Hotel room was grubby, carpets stained quite badly & the walls dirty. Bathroom tiles black with mould. Disgusted that I had to paid an extra £30 for one nights stay because I had my two very small Yorkie dogs with us.

This could be an absolute gold mine, but the rooms are tired and the attention to detail just isn’t there! The barman walked out during our meal, so there was no one serving for a short time! Not a great choice for vegans (evening meal), but the breakfast was great!

Overall excellent. Rooms comfortable. Bathroom ok and clean Only downside was large cobweb in twin room complete with spiders - I don't like spiders . Would still recommend highly .

I booked The Gables because it looked perfect for breaking our journey from our home to Scotland, was only a few miles off the M6, was dog-friendly and was not too expensive (though £15 for a dog was a bit excessive!). My greeting at reception was lovely and the receptionist immediately changed my room to a ground-floor one when I reminded her about our dog, there was ample parking, and it was easy to get from our room to the outside (bonus when you're travelling with a dog). We paid extra for breakfast (extremely good value) and it was delicious. I had some minor gripes: our room was small - especially with a dog - with nowhere to lay suitcases nor hooks to hang (eg) coats, and a little 'shabby', we could find nowhere nearby to buy a snack (though there were shops, chippies a short way down the road as we found too late!), and we couldn't find anywhere nearby to exercise our very energetic dog. The bath towels hadn't been changed but this was an oversight and would have been immediately dealt with had I mentioned it at reception (I made do with the clean hand towel being far too lazy to contact reception again!). If I travel that way again, none of my minor gripes would deter me from staying - they could all be managed now I know what they are - and I'd still recommend The Gables for a night's stop.
