Old Churches House

Exceptional place. Located in central Dunblane. Beautiful clean room. Couldn't figure out how to turn on heated towel rack, but no matter. It's a great place with a gorgeous cathedral across the street. Loved the interesting graveyard. I would definitely recommend! 💕

Let’s start with the positives. Pre checkin support was prompt, friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and it was possible to park right outside which was great. View from the room of the cathedral was a bonus and it is walking distance from the few amenities in Dunblane. Access to the room was fine and had most of what you needed, the shower was really good, powerful. Down sides… there are no staff on site, the space the, now closed, restaurant and bar was in is just left and the kitchens heading very quickly to derelict through no use. The signage teases you with restaurants and bar, which considering this close sometime 22/23 is lax. There is no breakfast, repeat no breakfast… but the local cafes are ok although there are not many of them and some don’t open till 10 or on Sundays. Wiser owners would create a mutual arrangement with a local cafe to provide breakfast and I guess you could Deliveroo it…. The facilities in the room are ok, but there was minimal storage space (we were here for a celebration so hanging space was a little Spartan). The website is super coy about the lack of food and one of the testimonials does mention good food, so they would do well to shift that. If you don’t mind a wee walk to breakfast and being on your own, no staff on site, then this place is ok. I wouldn’t say it was VFM though. At £235 for two nights and no food and only instant coffee in the room… that’s a bit steep

What a strange place! I was sent a code this morning to access the building. It's deserted. Feels like an escape room! Bed is totally squishy with a tired mattress. Walls with stains on them. Bathroom is clean and functional. The room is apparently an upgrade! It is on ground floor. One window does not open and the other won't stay open (not that I would feel safe leaving it open on the ground floor). The housekeeping trolley is in the corridor and there is a note in the room telling us to help ourselves if we want anything. Bizarre and not very nice.

This "hotel" should be renamed the Marie Celeste! No staff whatsoever on site, with the exception of the cleaner who was coming out as we were trying to go in! Was issued with 2 different pin numbers for the entrance door, but sadly none of them worked so it was indeed fortunate we met the cleaner! There is no reception, restaurant or bar nor is there anyone around to ask where your room is located. I have no idea where the reservations team are based, certainly not in the "hotel". On the upside, the room was clean and comfortable and it would have been good to be able to have breakfast as there seem to be plenty of empty areas where this could have been held. All in all a most bizarre experience and certainly not worth the £89 we paid to basically sleep in a ghost hotel. Not at all welcoming and certainly would never recommend it.

Self check in was easy and the details were sent via email on the morning of the due stay. Very quiet accommodation. The room was clean, welcoming with smart decor and the two wing chairs were a blessing for enjoying a cuppa on arrival. The shower was great, good pressure, easy controls. We are planning a return visit to the area soon and will definitely be booking here again.

Fortunately there was a housekeeper on site changing a room. She helped us by contacting maintenance who came and repaired the room lock Every night we were disturbed by creaking floorboards in room above every time people moved around. In morning woken by creaking floorboards. And when the above rooms shower was used it sounded like a bucket being filled from a hose in our room. Breakfast available for a fee - Doesn’t exist Free self-parking on site - Doesn’t exist. Free off-site parking is on the road outside or a carpark 100yds away. There is no bar. The restaurant / bar was closed a year ago. None of the guest services exist. All the outdoor areas are closed off. There is no communal areas or TV in lobby.

Very unclean hotel room. The hotel were unable to help or offer an alternative clean room for our stay. There was no tea and coffee making facilities either. We did not feel it was clean and safe to stay so had to seek alternative accommodation. The hotel staff were nearly impossible to get hold of. No staff could be found on site and when you call the numbers provided often there was no awnser. When I did get through I was told to call the reception number and not the duty manger. I would personally not recommend staying here. Dirty, unhelpful and unwilling to offer any form of refund.

Rooms are clean, beds are Ok. This hotel is let down by the lack of onsite facilities. No restaurant, no breakfast. The silver lining is I can recommend The Beech Tree Cafe at the far end of the high street. Open from 7-30. Breakfast is great!! Cakes look fantastic!!
