Overall, the holiday was good. It loses a few points on the Marco Pierre White restaurant at the Hotel Indigo in Glasgow. Food was OK but not great. On the return journey, I bought what was called a Ham Hock and Egg salad for my lunch, it was basically a bowl of lettuce with a few shredded bits of ham all for 12.50! As far as the Great Rail Journey goes, I was a little put off by the tour guide who kept trying to link me up with another solo traveller. I am used to to travelling on my own and really don't need this. Other than that, despite the very bad weather the the journey was good. I highly recommend a visit to Mount Stuart. What a wonderful place and the staff were so friendly and helpful; the highlight of my journey. Not so much rail about it though, more or a great Coach Journey.

Hotel dissapointing. Room and food certainly not 4 star. Room - no hanging facility for a wet coat. No shelf /storage for clothes. Bathroom - nowhere to hang towels. No shower gel or shampoo on arrival, no plug in bathroom basin. Food very ordinary, very little choice. However bar prices very much 5 star, London prices! We would certainly never consider a revisit or recommendation

Standard of hotel was poor.Food also was well below what we expected. The hotel was very much in need of investment particularly the bathrooms. For washing there was no soap provided.
