Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Whilst room was very clean, it was quite basic, far from the 'luxury' that the listing would suggest. It was a standard room but I would have at least expected a modern bathroom. Spa facilities were very poor, the general concept of the layout was ok and it was in an average state of repair, but considering we were charged a fairly hefty £20 surcharge per person, to then find it absolutely packed with people (we counted 23 in total) was really unpleasant. We ended up just leaving after a few minutes. Reception were kind enough to refund our surcharge without any hassle. The value for money is reasonable but considering that the place we have decided to stay for the next couple of nights is broadly the same price with the surcharge, and has beautiful facilities all included, it wasn't great. I came away not necessarily feeling misled, but certainly oversold.

Booked because price was appealing, however unless you book direct, there is a £20pp fee to use the spa facilities which bumps the price up anyway. Room was ok, confortable but very Premier Inn like. Food at dinner was lovely, service at breakfast was terrible. There are other hotels in the area that are much better value for money.

Overpriced. I honestly think this hotel charges so much purely because they have a spa and golf course, the rooms certainly don't reflect the price.

Don’t Stay at Gailes Hotel

Customer service terrible. Rooms were dated and facilities were two star. Was asked to pay £40 for a swim. That was after paying £200 for a basic room. No Smart TV - unbelievable. Hotel overpriced and over rated.
