“Wedding party”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

We stayed 2 nights, check in prompt, Room very nice & clean we had a double room. Hotel was fully booked due to family wedding, breakfast on both days was sparse 1 sausage/bacon instead of 2 both days, restaurant/bar manageress could be more approachable maybe the pressure was a bit much, some of the other waiting on staff could do with stepping up another gear. As a venue for a wedding fantastic staff attending function fortunately the weather was very good so the bride & groom got married outside. Bars fine little expensive but that's hotels for you.

“Average at best”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

Stayed for four nights whilst working locally along with a couple of colleagues. On the plus side the food in the restaurant was pretty good and, if you got the right staff, the service was freindly and prompt too. However, this was outweighed by poor service on other nights and also at breakfast - had to laugh when both my porridge and poached haddock came out of the kitchen at the same time!

On the final morning I was almost berated for sitting at the wrong table - it hadn't been set for breakast apparently, and the porridge was salty too!

“Expensive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

Family wedding. Stayed for 1 night. For where the hotel is situated (villages), expensive for what they offered. Could have stayed in Edinburgh for the same price of a room. Bar drinks very expensive.

This hotel is not for the locals to have their wedding at. Pricey, and over-rated.

“No better than Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2009

We stayed here to attend a wedding in Whitburn

Positives - the room has a comforatble king size bed, and the hotel is very clean

Negatives - toiletries are basic, the room was a bit cold, the price is a bit high for the location (but then they have no competition). After the wedding, we returned to the hotel and wanted a drink in the bar. They served us one drink, then asked us to move into a side room. This room was really cold. The waiter served us, then disappeared. We had to wait ages for anyone to come back - and then it was pricey! They made it pretty obvious that we were a total inconvenience - there was a comment about someone having to stay up to serve us.

The worst however, was the breakfast. Breakfast was 8 till 10. We went down about 9.40 - and got our breakfast just before 10.30!!! I have never waited so long for breakfast anywhere I have ever stayed. When it came, I asked for a fresh pot of tea as ours had gone cold, but it never came.
We waited so long, we were late checking out (checkout is 11) but at least they didn't complain.

To be fair, I had messed up on the booking. I booked for 1 person instead of 2 (Best Western website is not the best.) They added £20 onto the bill, which was reasonable I suppose, but no way was that breakfast worth it!

I wouldn't recommend it, nor would I stay there again.

I messed up on the booking. I booked for one person instead of 2 (Best Wester's website is not the best) and they were OK about it
