Lodging in Biggar, Scotland

“We went here for a takeaway whilst staying in Biggar. Went to collect and the person there (owner I think) was so friendly and we chatted for a while whilst the food was being prepared. They're trying so hard to keep costs down while their own costs are rocketing. I thought the meal was reasonably priced and it was delicious. Best we've had in ages. We would definitely return if we were back in the area.”

“We stayed at Tinto for a couple of nights as we were guests for a wedding at Cornhill Castle not too far away. The hotel definitely has some charm and character, and we learned that it was used as a hospital for both the First and Second World Wars. Apparently some of the graves for the Polish servicemen can be found at the Shepherds Cemetery just outside of Symington.Our room was very spacious, the bathroom looked as though it was recently updated, and the downstairs restaurant and bar was giving Grandparent vibes: carpeted plaid floors, forest green leather sofas, and comfortable upholstered dining chairs - We certainly loved it!The food was okay! I enjoyed my fish and chips, but my husband wasn't crazy over his steak dinner. I also found the wine to be a little too warm, and perhaps was opened a while as it had a little funk to it. I stuck with the beer pints after that.A lot of us guests were sort of reuniting as we all once lived in the Cayman Islands, so I feel the poor bartenders couldn't keep up with our drink orders. If you're reading this, apologies :)To the Asian lady that was tending to us at the front desk - thank you so much, you were incredibly hospitable, and it was really nice to chat with you, all the best!Walkability: Rent a car, it's quite far from most things.”

“Lots of green space for a service station to walk your dog and places to sit down eat. Some people hadn't cleared up after their dog so be careful where you tread! Not nice.Good selection of shops inside and places to get food and drinks and toilets were clean”
