Heronston01, General Manager at Best Western Heronston Hotel & Spa, responded to this review
Dear Guest Thank you for your review, I am sorry to read you were disappointed with your stay. We always have alternative eggs to the fried and scrambled egg on the weekend breakfast buffet, but they are cooked to order from the kitchen. In terms of the milk we serve semi- skimmed, soya or almond milk, I apologise if you were misinformed on this subject. I will discuss with our head housekeeper your comments concerning the bedroom and ensure any oversight on this occasion is corrected immediately. I would like to thank you for your feedback as all feedback is used as a tool to help the hotel continually improve standard and services. Kind regards General Manager
