Booking process was a complicated joke. Once you pay youre meant to create a 'portal' as the hotel is basically unmanned. Refused to do that as unnecessary. Atrocious experience. Water pouring through ceiling in bedroom-staff offered a bucket! Refused to stay as was dangerous. Hardly any staff available and unmanned at night. Offered a horrible bedroom in staff accommodation around back of hotel! Staff were unhelpful and clearly irritated that I was unhappy. Do not stay here. Left and went to Mecure Livingston which was excellent

Lovely place in a beautiful setting. Will be nice place to sit out in the summer. We Even saw a baby deer in the gardens. Very clean and fresh decor. Service was first class. Not a very extensive menu and limited for vegetarians but couldn’t fault our food…..was really fresh and tasty.

Excellent food and friendly, professional service in a beautiful setting. The facilities were clean and of a very high standard. Visited for a family birthday and we received a very warm welcome. Sitting by the log fire added to the experience. I would highly recommend it.

Loved the Bankton. Room was clean, beds comfy and coffee machine was just what was needed. Bathroom was lovely. Lunch and dinner in the bistro were amazing, food was delicious. Staff were wonderful and attentive, typical of a family run business, even though Saturday was very busy. Continental breakfast was in a bag in a wee room downstairs. Took it back upstairs to the room, Granola pot was lovely. Would definitely return.

Had afternoon tea in the conservatory. One of the nicest I’ve had and I’ve sampled a few. Sandwiches freshly made and more than enough of everything for the four of us. Went home with a doggy bag. The staff were very attentive and I can honestly say no complaints. Ten of us visited again for afternoon tea in July and thoroughly enjoyed it. A wee gem on our doorstep.

Unmanned building, no common areas to use, no reception, no breakfast, intruder alarms going off as house not secure, no receipt given when deposit made, rude aggressive staff, worst of all one of the general managers questioned my disability? Checked in for two day stay and within a few hours checked out, totally unacceptable to call this a hotel.

We visted with friends on June 29th for dinner. First of all I wish to say that we really enjoyed our visit and will defintely return. This is a lovely restaurant and great value for money. I leave the following feedback in the hope that it will improve further and be an amazing dining experience. 1) If serving room temperature Rose wine (in a cooler granted but room temp nontheless) please check with the customers that they are happy with this in case they would prefer an alternative that is chilled. I think it's safe to say most people expect Rose wine to be chilled when served. 2) In my experience a Caesar salad always has croutons. Again if none available please let the customer know. 3) Cocktails are good value however my Pina Colada just tasted like Pineapple Juice. If the alcohol measure is small maybe include less pineapple juice so it can be tasted - or increase the price and alcohol content. The feedback from others in my group was that their choices of cocktail (espresso martini) was also not very good. Something to work on I think. Please take this feedback in the spirit it is intended. We want to come back and will come back and it would be great if the experience could be even better. Thanks.

A hidden gem in Livingston. High quality pub grub with friendly service. We made a night of it and had drinks in the cosy bar before moving through to the bistro for dinner. Both areas are welcoming and nicely decorated which gives a relaxed atmosphere. Honestly a great wee place.
