Gleneagles Townhouse

Went in one evening to see the place. Christmas decoration in the lobby area only. Thought they would have done more. Two large gin and tonics £37. The entire bottle only costs £40 retail. Now that is some mark up. Well did the visit but will cross off my list as a never to return. Went to the Dome which knocks this place for six

Decor and ambience was excellent, service, acceptable but not brilliant, food, well presented but pretty tastless and very overpriced. There is some work to do here to get the quality of the food commensurate with the price but would definitely give it a second chance.

Very disappointing breakfast at Gleneagles Townhouse today. Substantially more expensive than the average good breakfast, but the whole thing felt a bit stingy!! We ordered tea for two, and that's exactly what we got, two tiny teapots with only enough for 1 cup each (each pot costing £4). The full cooked breakfast was crammed onto a plate that was far too small - the waitress dropped some of the bacon off the side of my plate as she laid it on the table (not her fault!!) Also crammed onto the side of the plate was a very small piece of toast, with no butter or dedicated knife provided. The bacon was streaky (not what you'd expect of a five-star hotel) and the potato scone was clearly not freshly cooked as it was hard and crispy. When I asked for butter and marmalade for my toast, I was provided with three small dishes of delicious jam, lemon curd and marmalade, but I only had a small slice of toast (less than10cm square), which by now was hard and cold, and no butter knife!! The table was also very small so it was difficult to fit everything on it and we didn't even have side plates. All in all a very uncomfortable, ungenerous and disappointing experience!! Gleneagles Townhouse needs to do better!!
