We went for a 2 night stay at the gables as we were in a wedding party. i thought the rooms were very very basic for the money and we also had to listen to an annoying banging noise from the water pipes all night, when we complained on leaving the hotel they did refund £60 to us but this was nothing as we paid over £200 for the stay but it was better than nothing i suppose.

We went on a last min night away what value for money and what a great hotel, good rooms night staff and great food would recommend to anyone going that way.

The wedding was 22/04/11 and we booked out a large number of rooms for 2 nights..
Everything we requested was met! The staff were amazing with nothing too much trouble.
Food and service were spot on and they pretty much left us to it which is how we wanted it..
Only down side was the size of the bridal suite.. Slightly small but still a good place..

You might find plusher hotels with more facilities but what you won't beat is the the charm. warm welcome and traditional values of The Gables. That's why I have put it as excellent.

We were here for a family wedding and for the two night stay nothing was too much trouble. From the friendly staff, to the cosy bar, the excellent scottish breakfast through to the actual wedding reception itself - all were first class.

Situated close to Anvil Hall were the wedding ceremony was held then the hotel is easy to find off of the motorway and at the other end of the village from the outlet shops (worth a visit). Also worth visiting is the original Blacksmiths shop and associated tourist attraction.

Haste ye back!
