I would give zero stars if option to select. Do not book at this poorly run hotel. Booked a family room for 2 Adults and 2 Children. Checked in to find we were given a Room for 2 Adults with one double bed. Made a complaint at reception, but hotel fully booked. Receptionist said room should not have been released to us but no option and they hastily pulled out a sofabed and moved a double bed to the side to accommodate. This meant you could not access wardrobes, shelves or desk and had to crawl over beds to move to the other side of the room. Sofa bed not fit for purpose, mattress very springy and children unable to sleep. To make matters worse, the hotel manager tries to absolve responsibility by saying it was a family room, and they have taken our feedback for future! Absolutely disgusting and appalling behaviour. They clearly don’t put customers first and you can see this at reception where staff are junior and have no authority whatsoever in dealing with complaints effectively or efficiently. When asking for the manager, they are not on site and apparently do not work weekends. Absolute rubbish. We are a principled family and I would hate for this to happen to another family, so they will be hearing from my solicitors for breach of contract. They do not understand who they are dealing with and I will be in this for the long run until a successful conclusion is drawn.

Friendly comfortable hotel

First appearance very good. Reception efficient and helpful. Access to rooms easy by keycard. Evening menu provided a variety of options and were all of a good size and standard. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was disappointing with limited choices. There were no Scottish options available, square sausage and black pudding would have been welcomed. The toasters were very hit and miss with regard to their ability to toast correctly. The main issue was that the radiator in the corridor to our rooms was on full and apparently could not be turned off. When we asked the receptionist about this, we were told that “the control is on an App on a phone and it is not possible to access it”. There was no individual control on the radiator itself. Because it was generally very hot during our stay (heatwave mid-August), this had the effect of heating the rooms which necessitated sleeping with the window wide open to try to make it more comfortable. Fortunately it was very quiet at night.

This place was okay for a one night stay. The staff was helpful, but not as friendly as I would have expected. The room was quite small, but adequate for our needs for the night.

The room was very basic and they didn’t provide any amenities. We did not like the beds as there was a futon and it was very poor quality . The breakfast was very basic as well , we were not happy with the stay and service at all.

Weekend stay

The menu was ok portion sizes could’ve been slightly bigger, not a great choice of menu for nine meat loving eaters only one pasta dish available, the hotel was clean and welcoming with good sized rooms however no seating other than the bed which was uncomfortable and mattress was sagging and needs replaced.

Came for the price, stayed for the bed, waddled out after the breakfast. Clean room, comfy sleep, tasty dinner — 10/10 would accidentally overeat again.

Fourth stay at this hotel, but first time in the single room. But the bathroom was way below standard. The shower trap had not been taken out, the shower head was covered in dirt and mould and there were numerous long black hairs in the bathroom. A bit disappointed with the hotel this time and may not book again. Other than that this hotel is actually very nice.

Lovely hotel

Had a lovely weekend at the Adamson Hotel... Clean hotel , comfortable beds ,pillows perfect for me ...rooms pretty basic ,but adequate for what we wanted. Staff... when checking in there was only one person doing bar and reception deck , so had a good 10 min wait to check in But on the whole staff were very polite . Restaurant was lovely, ate in both evenings and service was great ... and not a single complaint about the food , both evenings it was gorgeous and value for money. Would definitely recommend this hotel .

Lovely quiet, refurbished hotel serving great food

I like to stay here whilst working at Knockhill as it is quiet, comfortable and serves excellent food until a reasonable time so I can get back and eat. Wifi is OK downstairs but patchy in rooms. Ample Parking. Well appointed rooms which have been refurbished to a very good standard, with plenty of power points etc. The only issue was the shower could have been better. It looked good, but if you wanted a hot shower it was less powerful. It is frequented by coach parties so if you timed breakfast wrong, that could be an issue. Worth asking at reception when they would be eating to avoid?
