Fir Grove Hotel

I have no knowledge of the facilities while staying there, but have experienced the hotel as a venue for a private function today.
This was the gathering after the funeral of a friend and we were a party of 50+. The foyer is now completed and is very impressive. On arrival in the decent-​sized car park, one is struck by the proliferation of contemporary sculptures. These are continued inside, in the commodious and welcoming entrance, with automatic doors.
We were given a large room very near the entrance and treated to ample supplies of tea and coffee with a bar in the room. There is no real ale on offer, but they do have a good selection of malt whiskies if one asks for them.
The buffet provided was excellent and served by a wonderful staff. We were allowed to conduct a series of songs, dances and music (being mostly folk performers) and had a very enjoyable afternoon in the circumstances.

This is a best western hotel, and when i stayed they were in the middle of being refurbished. When we walked into the hotel through a gazeboo it was a little shabby, there was a mix up with rooms and they hadnt booked enough for our party, but luckily they found space 1 person ended up with a suite for the price of a single room! The staff were lovely and very helpfull, there was no iron but a note saying you can ring and ask for one. The morning i was shocked to open my curtains and find work men stood there! Breakfast was nice but you had to ask for tea, coffee and toast. There was a young lad about 12 serving breakfast he was dressed lovely and smart and had impecible manners but i felt very uncomfortable being served by a child, but it is a family run resturant. I would stay again, up the road about a 10 min walk is a good chippy and a good chinese. Its to far to walk into town and im not sure about public transport. Best western have a website so you can see and read about the facilities. For the price i have stayed at better hotels. A nice touch was you can buy the teddy bear on your bed for £5 so i did!
