Great place to explore the area from

Lovely staff, great food and good leisure facilities.it is a bit in need of some TLC and was hotter than the centre of the sun but overall good value for money.

Lovely Hotel in a lovely village

This was our second stay in the Buchanan Arms Hotel and we were not dissapointed. Lovely lounge/bar/conservatory area. We enjoyed our dinner in the hotels restaurant and staff were friendly. We will be back :)
Gena, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok but needs an upgrade

Have stayed here a few times before. We came for our anniversary but unfortunately wasn’t impressed this time. Our room was nice enough and comfy bed. There was 2 coffee cups with coffee & tea but no teaspoons to stir it. There also was no hand soap, shower gel etc or anything at all to wash your hands with in the bathroom which I found pretty poor. The spa is ok, pool is nice but it’s very tired looking and needs a good upgrade tbh. Steamroom was like sitting in a cupboard.

Jason, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Friendly staff and decent food unfortunately does not make up for moldy rooms with disgusting carpets. Room was terrible but the rest allright
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The overall stay was good the staff were very helpful and friendly and the hotel itself was nice however ever so slightly dated and the room was boiling and no way we could find to turn it down. The breakfast was a standard buffet breakfast and was decent quality. The pool area seemed clean and well maintained but the steam room was out of service. My only criticism of the pool area and the hotel as a whole is the changing area for the pool as there are no individual changing areas in the mens changing room and there were two young girls in there which i felt to be quite inappropriate as i had to leave and wait for them to finish up before changing. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will likely be back.

4/10 Fair

No wifi in unloved hotel

The hotel buildings and furnishings are very tired. Window catches on bathroom and bedroom windows had fallen off. Bedroom lock only worked intermittently. The bathroom was last updated many years ago and the radiator was rusty and had black growth behind both it and the bath. There was no Wi-Fi to the room. There was no way you could have the side light on and charge your phone at the same time. Central heating was on on July - I was told by hotel staff that if it wasn't on there would be no hot water. Food was good, service not so good.

I understand that this is a really old hotel but it was not clean in the slightest. Thankfully some employees changed the dirty bedding but the rest of the room was terribly dirty as well.
