ABOUT THE OATRIDGE

  We booked this 'hotel' as we had a very early flight from Edinburgh airport.
It was a great location and seemed to be good value at the time of... read more booking.
We had 3 hour drive up and were looking to arrive around 9pm.
We arrived just before this and managed to park outside from a lovely young man who helped us. We walked in to what is a pub with a box with a shutter for reception, kids playing on the stairs and no staff to be seen. We stood around for a few minutes, when a waitress pressed a bell and somebody came. We paid and got our key.
We were on the top floor and whilst going up with cases had to bypass several children who were playing on them.
The room was small with a double bed against a wall (which I hate!) and a bathroom across the landing! Both, of which were not mentioned in the booking or on arrival.
We chucked the bags in the room and went down to see what food was a a available. We had not been asked if we would be eating, so a bit disappointed to be told the kitchens had just closed.
We went to the takeaway across the road which was quite nice.
Sleep was minimal due to it being on a busy road. We didn't have breakfast as we were leaving at 4.30am (No reduction given).
Overall, I've done 11 years in the hotel industry as management and over 35 years travelling around the world. This is a pub with rooms, no customer service and not for us.

  Waitress took us to our table she was very pleasant she took our order.We had the haggis balls with salad so tasty.For main we had steak pie it was lovely... read more with lots of gravy.We just had soft drinks as because of the COVID tier 3 no alcohol is served.

Brilliant beer garden and outside space. Thank you

  Cooked from frozen food and rude waitresses - Went for the set dinner today and none of the food tasted fresh except the cheesecake dessert.. definitely the worst Christmas dinner I've had everything was made from frozen. roast... read more potatoes, veg, stuffing. What made it worse was the service, maybe if the waitresses smiled or even had some manners. Had to ask for food to be taken away from table, we were never asked how the food was or if we needed anything. no glasses were taken away either so tables were just a mess. Will not be back.

   Amazing, great getting woke up at early doors!! Needs a full change of management. Everything is so outdated.  - Interesting place, seems to be full of characters. Got a mojito to test the water, and was really tast, bar staff were really nice, wouldn't recommend to the light hearted,... read more certainly tourists might feel threatened.

  Lovely Christmas lunch. - Just enjoyed another lovely lunch here with my husband, sisters and mum. We had the Christmas menu and all food was very enjoyable although, thought my husbands tomato and cheese... read more tart which he said was very good could maybe have done with some roasties with it. He was glad he’d had soup as a starter. All staff very friendly. Restaurant is looking lovely after its makeover. Very popular for lunch we’ve never been for dinner but I imagine it will be busy.

  Just had a delivery for Father's Day. Delivery was at exact time stated. Food absolutely amazing ❤️. First class service❤️.

  Cheap but accommodation was poor. Room stank of cigarette smoke topped off with air freshener. En suite room only had a shower, the toilet was down the hall and used... read more by other guests. Bedding appeared to be clean until I found the dead wasp... food in restaurant was mainly meat, very limited vegetarian options. For prime time Saturday night the restaurant only had 3 tables occupied with most of the tables unbooked, spoke volumes about local custom... Pub noisy, road outside very busy. I DO NOT recommend.
