We booked this Hotel as we were attending a wedding at the Cornhill Castle, where no rooms were available. It turned out that this little gem was more than we expected. Our room was small but clean and cozy. We ate in the hotel restaurant. Although the hotel was full and there was a function on in the evening, the staff couldn't be more accommodating. The food served was excellent. Our breakfast was ordered the night before and served freshly made on time. I am going to another wedding at the same venue. I will be sure to book the Elphinstone Hotel again.

There was nothing I could fault.

Perfect little hotel in a great location for a local wedding. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly and remembered our preferences on the second morning even though it was different staff. Rooms were clean and noise minimal. Cannot thank the team enough for going above and beyond for reuniting my daughter with her beloved teddy who we’d mistakenly left behind after he’d fallen behind the bed. Such a thoughtful and caring team, thank you!

Couldn’t fault it.

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Fast check-in. Well appointed, newly refurbished room. Very comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast, both in size and quality of produce.

Snagging problems with plumbing following refurbishment. Wash basin mixer tap seemed to be wrongly connected (red for cold, blue for hot). Supplementary pump required to alleviate low water pressure. It took 5-10 minutes for hot water to run through to the shower and wash basin. This is a short-term issue.

The hotel is well placed in the centre on the main street & the staff were great but the hotel is a bit like your lovely old granny...comfy & creaky with a few cobwebs round the edges

The bedroom I had was a bit dull & the lighting not great. This wouldn't put me off staying there but I think the Elphinstone is due a revamp to get rid of the creaky floorboards & update the bedrooms in general. The bed was really soft so not comfortable for me & the beds were very small singles. I had to push the 2 together to stop me falling out 🤣

The manager went out of his way to help us. We arrived late and missed supper but were allowed to eat our sandwiches in the bar with a glass of wine. The next day we had to leave early for an appointment and were able to eat a quick early lunch. The hotel was a charming old building. The beds were comfortable, bathroom clean, towels provided. The town of Biggar is delightful with alleys running between the buildings up the hill. All staff very friendly and helpful and. We wish we had an excuse to come back.

Very friendly staff and very helpful. We were at a wedding a few miles down the road and couldn’t make check in on time. When I called to explain, the person on the other end of the phone was more than helpful and allowed us to turn up a bit later than what was supposed to be the time. The room we got was also very comfortable. It had one double bed and a set of bunk beds along with a very spacious bathroom. The full Scottish fry up was also a delight in the morning after a night at a wedding!

If I was to be pernickety and pick anything at all it would be that the rooms could be modernised but as I said, that’s really digging to find something negative.

I already knew where the hotel was located so this influenced my choice. I had only ever been in the bar on previous visits to the town of Biggar. I was very pleased with the quality of room for the price I paid, I also had a fantastic breakfast. I had a lovely evening meal in the dining room and enjoyed a few beers in the public bar. The best thing about the Hotel though was the polite and helpful staff, despite being very busy every staff member I spoke to was smiling and friendly.

I honestly cannot think of anything I didn't enjoy about my stay.

Stay here with several groups of families for a wedding at Cornhill Castle. The staff here were very accommodating , they went above and beyond for us all to ensure we had a great stay. Staff were very friendly and approachable. The food was so good! We ate on an evening as a large group and everyone’s food was exceptional and served all together. The breakfast were amazing, with a great choice. Thank you to your team for hosting us, we had a wonderful weekend.

I had a brief but lovely stay. While the room was not large, it did everything I needed it to. The staff I spoke to were all charming. Dinner was terrific, as was breakfast, and the bar sold a nice pint of real ale. I needed to get to Glasgow on the following day: while Biggar itself is out in the countryside, reaching Glasgow was an easy journey, though admittedly, I am talking about a Sunday morning!

One or two places could perhaps have benefited from a lick of paint, but much was pleasantly atmospheric, and I wouldn't really want the proprietors to change anything. Oh, the bedroom walls were a little thin and I could hear some late-night revellers, but that can happen anywhere.

The breakfast was excellent- plenty of choice, good portions and cooked well. The staff was excellent bringing out coffee and toast in good time. We liked the traditional, historical building and the friendly staff. The location was excellent just off the A74 and was a good stop off point between Essex and Oban.

Nothing in particular- a couple of areas of the hotel are looking a bit tired - the main carpet on the corridor from the stairs could be replaced for example.
