Best Western Woodlands Hotel

Stayed on Saturday night, the room was lovely and the leisure facilities are great. Had dinner, the menu is not large but the food was good and the waiting staff were great as were all the staff. Good selection for breakfast, both hot and cold. There is nothing not to like and would definitely recommend. less

We pre-booked two nights at the Woodlands Hotel as part of a recent trip around Scotland. Arriving late afternoon after a long drive from the Highlands, we were pleased to find the hotel nestling in a quiet and peaceful residential area of town, with ample free car parking. The hotel appears to me mostly used by business travellers through the week, and it has its own on-site leisure facilities. Our ground floor bedroom was of a good size, overlooking gardens. The bathroom was well equipped and had a flexible shower. Only criticisms were that the sink was cracked, and that there were no sanitary disposal facilities which you normally find in most hotels. Our evening meals were fine. Breakfast was all buffet style, but we found that the hot food was not very warm after 9am (breakfast is served until 9.30). We attempted a walk down into the town after our evening meal, but found that although the waterfront is a 10 minute walk away, the town centre itself takes at least 30 minutes to reach by foot. Trains and buses are easily available to travel into nearby Dundee, if you don't fancy taking the car. less

I won a voucher for the woodlands hotel, so thought I'd treat myself and my daughter to lunch . I was pleasantly surprised to see they have a few offers on , one being two main meals for £12 ! I sometimes worry that it will be smaller portions than normal, but I was wrong !! I had macaroni cheese and a side order of veg . The plate was plentiful, food was piping hot and tasted absolutely delicious Our waiter (Dean) was lovely and friendly, There appeared to be a wedding and a funeral on , so they were very busy, but I still felt Dean gave us just the right amount of attention. Can't fault the food, service or staff , very pleased , and will be returning. less

First room allocated was like a sauna, eventually given another. Housemaid service never left biscuits for tea/coffee etc shower didn't work properly as the pressure disappeared and then reappeared it was reported, never sorted and there was no feedback. A luxury hotel shouldn't be trying to sell rooms like our first allocated. overall hotel needs some TLC. Staff were fine and friendly enough. less

We have friends in Broughty Ferry so this was an excellent place to stay. Dropped elderly member of party off who stayed 5 nights. We stayed one night on return to collect her. We both stayed in different parts of the hotel. We were in the new extension which was lovely. Relative was in the older part which was still nice but I preferred the new bit. Nice swimming pool but no time to use. Bar staff in evening very pleasant. Breakfast first class. will be back next year. Plenty of parking by the way. less
