Swallow Gretna Hall Hotel

deciced to go to gretna green for a romantic weekend break on valentines.first impressions of the hotel were pretty good.id read one or two negative comments about the hotel but nothing too bad so decided to try it.
yes the carpets are tatty and tartan( i mean c'mon with the scottish theme were barely into bonny scotland).our room was quite nice however with no cleanliness or damp issues as some have mentioned.thats all the good points im afraid.
the evening meal was poor.my wife ordered pork loin,which turned out to be a pork chop consisting almost entirely of fat and bone.the veg was poorly cooked(rubbery).
onto the bar area; yes the prices are very dear.the staff seemed to be almost all foreign nationals.im not wanting to start a debate on immigrant workers but at best they were mostly unhelpful, and at worst rude and ignorant.
the breakfast fare was reasonable but was ruined by downright bad manners from the surly staff.
sorry but we wont be using this hotel again.

In desparate need of refurb carpets taped. Room was ok except the beds were singles pushed together and about to fall apart and uncomfortable! No shower curtain! Hairs in the bed as if not changed or a pet had slept on it. The bar prices were a joke you needed a mortgage to by a round! The only descent thing was our food but we heard complaints from people on later sittings that the food was cold. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here in 3 years this year was disappointing & possible our last! We love coming up here to spend time with friends but next year would choose different hotel.
