It's a family run business that feels very welcoming from the second you enter. The lady on reception is as professional as you'd expect from high-end front of house. Leading in then to the restaurant area we were well looked after by Claire and a delightful German lady, her name escapes me (Entschuldigung meine Liebe Food is outstanding, particularly the vegetarian apricot curry (I added chicken and bacon because I'm not fooling anyone, there are no Scottish vegetarians I'd have no hesitation in recommending Gleesons to everyone, from business lunches to spending the night with family, they'll have you covered with very reasonable and competitive rates.

This family-run establishment is served by really helpful and mostly friendly employees. As other reviews say, the breakfast is quite good, and I highly recommend trying their homemade scones if you have any interest. However, there are quite a few downsides. I heard every single person who walked by my door or up or down the stairs which were right by my room. I also heard everything from the rooms on either side, because it seems the walls are paper thin. Additionally, the rooms are quite dated and less in a charming way, and more in a 'wow, this is old and stained ' kind of way (see pictures of chair and carpet). So, the breakfast and location are good and the staff is really nice, but the room was loud and pretty dingy. Also keep in mind that when they say 'double bed, ' they mean it. As two adults used to a queen, neither got much sleep.

Breakfast is served rather than the usual hotel self-service which I expect is more economical for Gleeson's given its size. Breakfast was great on the first morning ... went down a bit after that. Single room was fine ... but way over heat making it difficult to sleep. Leaving the window open wasn't a good idea as I seemed to be over a ground floor service door ... noisy late evening and early morning.
