Best Western Glasgow South Eglinton Arms Hotel

We were part of a wedding party , which was a wonderful event on a sunny day. The dining room looked superb. We stayed at the hotel for two nights. It was in a nice position at the edge of playing fields and has an attractive garden with benches and sun umbrellas. A bus stops right outside, which runs hourly to Glasgow, so brilliant to make connections to transport further away. The Eaglesham Parish Church is 5 minutes away and had a great service on Sunday mornings at 11am. The hotel is very clean. The South Eglinton Arms Hotel is obviously very old, but SO dark in décor, everywhere especially in our room. All 4 walls were dark brown plus the cupboards (there was no real wardrobes) with hangers and a shelf at the bottom. It was so dark inside them, we had to use the torch on our phones to see if there was anything we had left behind. The TV was in front of the window with a row of sockets behind. The tray of tea/coffee was on a pull out shelf but there was no 13 amp. socket for the kettle apart from the one behind the TV. We didn't use that as surely it's not good to have steam going in the electrics of television? In the end, we plugged it into the one on the floor near the room door - we had to be careful not to trip over the cord, of course. We could easily hear a "noisy" couple in the room next to ours; at first I thought it was the plumbing but after more listening, it certainly was not the pipes! The walls must have been very thin. Our double bed had only one shared light above our two pillows which was inconvenient seeing I wanted to read later than my husband. There was no switch my side of the bed, so I had to get out of the bed, walk around to the other side where my husband was and turn off the switch, which was a bit of a pain. At the same time the light was shining in his face, which was not ideal. We feel the cost for the 2 nights and breakfast was high compared to the Premier Inns where we had stayed in central Glasgow. Overall, it's not too bad but apart from attending a wedding, I would not choose to stay there again.

An old coach house decorated very nicely. All staff friendly & courteous. Rooms Clean/tidy and well kept. Breakfasts/Dinner all nice and good choice. Village of Eaglesham it's self very pretty with nice walks. Only 40 mins on bus outside hotel into Glasgow for seniors £2.95 rtn or Railway Station in Clarkston 10 mins away £5.50 rtn.

Our daughter and son in law chose this venue for their wedding for its relaxed, intimate atmosphere and as it provided everything we needed on site ceremony room, function room, photographic areas, entertainment and of course accommodation. Adrian the manager provided an outstanding personal but professionally delivered day for us. Housekeeping in particular went above and beyond for us making our stay even more enjoyable. From the night manager/porter to the Chefs, bar and kitchen staff and the quality food everyone made this event one of the best of our lives.

The South Eglinton Arms Hotel proved itself as a great place to stay. The hotel was brilliant and the village of Eaglesham was beautiful! Well done, and thank you, to all the staff! The rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful, polite, cheerful and accommodating. The reception staff were always on hand to give advice and help. The kitchen and waiting staff were cheerful (even early in the morning) and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious – with great menu choices, all beautifully cooked. The room cleaners were cheery and upbeat, full of local knowledge and always happy to recommend places to visit. The night porter, George, was a constant source of kindness, and reassurance that he was keeping us all safe on his watch. In my time spent in Eaglesham village, I met many wonderful, friendly and interesting people.

This hotel was wonderful! It’s in a beautiful, quiet location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They unexpectedly upgraded our room which was a very pleasant surprise! It is an older building but everything was clean and spotless, tastefully decorated. We stayed for one night to be closer to the airport for a flight home but wished we could have stayed longer, highly recommend!

Stayed for 2 nights for a friend's wedding at the hotel. Location, parking and check-in superb. Double room decent size with comfortable bed. Setting aside the fabulous wedding, the staff, catering and amenities first class. Nothing was too much trouble with staff always on hand with any requirements. The hotel has plenty of space for movement, eating and relaxing with a snack or beverage. We had a fantastic stay at the hotel and will return. Highly recommended when in and around the area

Out for family meal. Fist time for me eating here. I struggled to find a starter i fancied, could be more choice. I went for veg pakora, it was a bit greasy but was OK. For main, I had seabass which came with crushed potatoes. Fish was nice but only one tiny fillet which was overcooked. Others in the party enjoyed their meals but felt nothing special. Friendly staff and nice decor. Wouldn't rush back.

The welcome at the hotel on checking in was excellent. The receptionist provided us with all the information we required and made us feel very welcome. The bedroom was well appointed and extremely clean - housekeeping had done a 1st class job. The mattress wasn't to our liking. The bathroom was spotless and the shower had a wonderful water pressure. The restaurant team were also very welcoming and provided a pleasant atmosphere for both evening meals and breakfast. There was a good selection to choose from both for breakfast and from the restaurant menu. There was also a good offering for a takeaway breakfast or pack lunch options - although we didn't take advantage of either of these. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Very tasty food indeed. I had the mussels and they were delicious. I had the chicken with cabbage and dauphinois potatoes. That was also delicious. The house red was 10% which is pretty bad for a red wine. You expect at last 12% or more for a house red at that price.
