We decided to have dinner at the Moorings for a change. It was quiet, so quiet. And as it turns…read moreout, there's a reason for that. My chilli nachos had no chilli, but were very greasy, salty and they'd managed to melt the outside edge of the grated cheese and mould the rest into a lump of cheddar. Very unpleasant. My wife's chicken wings were no better, but her steak frite was nice apparently. However my burger was raw, and needed to be replaced with one which was medium at best. Medium steaks are fine, but not processed meat. The Moorings pricing isn't exactly competitive either. So they can't afford to be messing it up with what's put in the plate. It's not expensive, but at these prices you expect better. They kindly subtracted the starters from the bill, but of course by then it's too late. Yes, there's a reason it's quiet.

I am giving the Moorings 4 stars mainly because of how beautiful it is outside. When I drive past I…read morealways look and think, man that would be a nice house. Just to set the record straight, it is not a house, it is quite mansion like, with ivy growing all over the wall, in a nice way. At night the uplighters go on too and it is just gorgeous. I have been here for dinner and it has nice ambiance, quite like a guest hotel in somewhere rural, so yes tartan can be found in various areas. I would go again, but personally I prefer the big cities rather than the cosy country feel. Meals are averagely priced although verging on expensive side, depending what you get exactly.

We finished off a 2-week trip to Scotland with 2 nights at the Malmaison in Glasgow. It's a very…read morenice boutique hotel, converted from a church where, likely, we were sleeping where monks used to sleep. The room itself was unique. We had a suite which was 2 floors! It was very nicely appointed, and unlike any room we'd stayed in before. The bed was in an upstairs loft-like area which overlooked the living room space below. The bathroom/shower is also downstairs, so we found, for the most part, we were only upstairs to sleep, and all of our clothing, bathroom stuff, etc were downstairs. Everything was comfortable and nice. (We loved the little pig statue in the room.) We had skylights which had shades we could control with wall switches. The location is okay...it's about a 10-minute+ walk to the center of downtown (Buchanan Street, the train station and subway stations) and down a hill...so not so bad walking to those areas, but coming back from them it's up a hill with nothing particularly close to the hotel itself. For us it wasn't a bad walk, but the hotel is not exactly in the middle of things. The breakfast was good and included a plentiful continental buffet selection (including a super-automatic espresso machine to get any coffee drink you wanted), plus you could order prepared foods from the menu. I had porridge both mornings, which came with berries and honey (though the first time they forgot to bring them and brought a side of berries and honey to add in, and the second night it was a berry compote already mixed in with the honey). My wife got the French Toast both mornings, which was among the best French toasts either of us has ever had. We spent a little time at the bar thanks to our free drinks they gave us as a gift for opting not to have the room serviced. Whiskey selection was limited (especially for Scotland), but the bartender was very nice and spent some time talking with us, which we really enjoyed. The bonus to it being slightly off the beaten path was that it was quiet. We liked it here and might stay here again if we found ourselves back in Glasgow.

Access is now through the village rather than off the main road, although this doesn't affect journey times too much. Traffic noise is a problem in most rooms - although some are better or worse than others. The rooms are OK, though aging, and it is quite expensive for what you get. The bar area is a lovely old fashioned affair, and well recommended. Better hotels can be found in the area, for a similar price.

Just back from a night here so I thought I'd write up a review while it was very fresh in my mind!…read moreWe booked here for a night away - a mini holiday, if you will. Booking was simple though the website and we went for the Friday night deal - complimentary cocktail each, £20 each off the dinner bill and breakfast for £119. We upgraded from the double room to a superior room, but it's worth noting that the website doesn't actually tell you what the difference is and I'm not actually sure the room seemed any more superior than a standard room. I'm not really a fan of the hotel from the outside - I think it looks like an IT business. Inside though, it is super slick, modern and classy. There has been a lot of work put into the decor and we spent a good amount of time over lunch talking about how cool it is. There's free wifi throughout, both the rooms and the public areas which is handy. I'll try to split my review up into easy to manage parts from here on in. The bar: We ate in the bar for lunch - a lot of the meals are also starters on the evening menu so it was a good way of trying as much of the menu as possible. I had the lemon sole goujons which came with chips. Some of the best chips I've ever eaten, they were so good they even overshadowed the goujons which seemed a little bland by comparison. I also started on the cocktail menu and loved everything I had - they can do cocktails off menu as well, and this one was the only one I found a little disappointing. I like my espresso martinis on the sweeter side and this was definitely savoury but still pleasant enough. The bar was a really nice place to sit and have a drink and we found ourselves back down here before dinner. There's lots of nice nooks, couches and cushions so you can have a good chat with your beloved without feeling like there's other people too close by. The restaurant: Adjacent to the bar is the restaurant which again, has the same great design elements as well as comfortable arm chairs at the tables. The tables were all nicely spaced out so you weren't right by another table - maybe if it was full this would be an issue. I did have to ask to switch seats with Graeme though as there was an air con blowing right on my back, he didn't seem to mind. The menu is impressive and I was interested to see if the dishes would live up to their luscious description. I had hand dived scallops with chive butter and pea shoots (£12.50) and then the 9 oz fillet of Scotch beef for main with bearnaise and a side of sprouting broccoli hollandaise (£29.95). The scallops were really small so I was a little disappointed when they arrived, but that went away when I tasted how good they were. Succulent, juicy and sweet, the chive butter was a great sauce to go with it and possibly a few more pea shoots would've been nice. The steak was also great - not the best steak I've ever eaten but still damn good. It did cool down really quickly, possibly because of the cold plates but apart from that I really can't complain. Again, I was really impressed by the chips (chunky cut this time) but when they cooled down they lost their lovely crunch. I wasn't going to get dessert but seeing passionfruit souffle with coconut sorbet on the list blew my mind and I knew I had to have it. The waiter helpfully checked whether there was dairy in the dish so I ordered it, but I'm pretty sure it was served with a side of cream which was weird. The souffle was lovely but really got far too sweet after about 1/4 which was a shame - it needed that cream to cut through the sweetness but I couldn't eat it. The sorbet was lovely but again very sugary sweet. I also enjoyed that they served wines by the carafe so you could have 1/2 a bottle and then switch to something else - the rosé and albarino were both lovely. Overall it was a very good meal with helpful and friendly service. The bill was a little more than we were expecting but probably all the cocktails and wine was to blame. The hotel: As I mentioned above, we paid for a superior room but I'm still not sure what the superior aspect was as it seemed standard - bed, ensuite. There wasn't any couches, lounges and the size didn't seem overly generous. But apart from that, the room was perfect. A lovely leather bed which was super comfortable. The biggest pillow I've ever seen in my life. A couple of freshly baked cookies on the desk under a glass cloche. A good sized bathroom with a shower/rainfall option and nice toiletries. The bed was super comfortable to sleep in and the doona/duvet was light and warm at the same time. It was a little chilly in the room and even when we left the heating on it didn't warm up a whole lot, and in the morning the bathroom was pretty chilly. For a mini-holiday close to Glasgow, I'd definitely return here as it really did feel like a proper holiday in a very romantic, cosy hotel.

My friend was over from Ireland on business and was staying in Dakota so popped over to see him and…read morehave a bite to eat. It is somewhere I always for get is there due to its quite isolated location in the centre of the large Eurocentral Business Park. The exterior of the hotel is just like a large office building, black and dark grey and very minimalist. In entering it, again was pretty dark, however lots of candle light and open space which created a nice atmosphere. I loved the open fire that was shared between the front reception and the seating area in the bar. There are a variety of large comfy couches, chairs and little private seating areas that appeared to be used by people there on business making phone calls and utilising the free wifi throughout the whole hotel. We sat in the bar for a drink, I was driving unfortunately so was on the sparkling water. However there are lots of fantastic cocktails on offer, and a wide range of beers and spirits. Nice open bar area where you can comfortably sit, or again make use of the variety of seats and areas in this space. The dining area has large slatted wooden walls which separated this area, however keep it feeling open and spacious. The menu had a fantastic selection of great sounding dishes. The staff were extremely attentive and highlighted dishes of the day, and certain elements of the menu. I selected the mussels to start then the Thai baked sea bass for main. My friend had the Oriental Pork salad with mint, coriander and bean sprouts, Rib eye (12oz) with char grilled courgettes and pecorino. My mussels were sweet and well cooked in a light cream, wine and garlic sauce. Not too big a portion, with a wee dish of hot water and lemon on the side for the messing fingers. My fish was delicious. The Thai flavours really came through, and a paste with ginger, chilli, lemon grass etc appeared to have been made and placed under the skin prior to cooking. The fish was completely filleted which was great, and so easy eat. Pak choi was tasty with a wee kick from the chilli, and just the perfect portion of light and fluffy basmati rice. The menu is a bit on the pricey side, however the food was prepared to a high standard, the staff were extremely helpful and attentive. I would definitely return and possibly without the car or have an overnight to enjoy the cocktails and rest of the hotel facilities.
