Sherbrooke Castle Hotel, Glasgow

This hotel is warm, welcoming and comfortable. The main bedrooms on the first floor, reached by a broad sweeping staircase, are spacious and grand, befitting the wealthy man who built this place. Further up, a winding narrow stairs brings you to a network of little low rooms - the maids' quarters. Decor in the main hall and stairway makes extensive use of tartan and dark green deep-buttoned leather club chairs - I find this look very overpowering, but I guess its authentic. The bar and dining-room have lighter, airier decor. Staff were unfailingly helpful and pleasant - moved me without demur from the aforementioned maids' quarters. The location is not ideal for my needs, and I found I was spending lots on taxis to and from the city centre and conference centre. Breakfast is quite good,- one small quibble- it would be better if the green stalk were removed from strawberries and blackberries - de-stalking these is a messy job best done in a kitchen I think. The surrounding avenues are lined with impressive Victorian-era mansions, I went for a walk and became quite lost. Overall, I would say this might interest you if you would like a break from generic modern chain hotel rooms.

I held both my wedding ceremony and reception at Sherbrooke in September this year, and everything was absolutely first class. Nothing was too much trouble in the run up, they sourced suppliers where I wanted to do things out of the ordinary and never made me feel like a nuisance. The rooms in general are beautiful, with high standard furniture and gorgeous bathrooms. On the day everything ran without a hitch, we paid for a MC and this was invaluable. Many of our guests came up to compliment us on the standard of the food which was fantastic considering they were catering for large numbers. The service was great. Ive read some of the review below and whilst the decor may not be to everyones taste (when can it?) I found it cosy and inviting. I would recommend it to anyone!

I recently stayed at the Sherbrook hotel as i was attending a friends wedding. The whole day was fabulous, the staff were extremely attentive and friendly- and one young blonde girl even went out of her way to help me as i had spilt wine on my dress. The decor of the hotel is very warm and inviting and the room which i stayed in is by far the nicest hotel room i've ever been in before- with a huge bed, plasma tv, and gorgeous bathroom!! The hotel and the staff made the day a wonderful and unforgettable experience!!

I went to the Sherbrook castle to discuss booking a wedding with 'George' recently and was appauled at the welcome i received. George handed me a previous wedding album to show me what a wedding is like and also gave me an A4 size sheet of paper and explained that all i need to know is in the paper and that all i was to do was 'just turn up'. I explained to him that by saying that it had given me no confidence. George's reply was to say that we didint have to book as they had bookings up to 2011. George's attitude shocked me. It appeared to me quickly that George didnt really need my wedding there and certainly the money. George came across that he didnt care if i booked at all, i found this quite upsetting and felt if i booked, George would be the last person i would want to see on my wedding day.

Too many things that I disliked to list! The exterior is absolutely gorgeous, very decieving once we met the god-awful and atrocious decor inside! I don't think the staff have ventured very far, if at all, into the 21st century. Everything is very sickly sweet and done in 1980s style. We were just back from a business trip, and therefore needed somewhere to kip-out. Moreover, considering it is a four star hotel, I was absolutely mortified when I was placed in a place, they called the 'stables'. The ceilings were very low and felt claustrophobic. The atmosphere was utterly dead, too. Entertainment, was nil. More could be done with such a suave building, methinks. Also, the only books available in the library were elements of the tacky wallpaper, which oh-so teasingly featured images of actual books. I was not impressed. It is not a library, so why the hell call it so? The only thing I liked about this hotel was the whole 'checking out' part!! :) It was absolute trash.
