OYO Dunmar House Hotel

The Dunmar Hotel is a charming hotel with plenty of character. If you are looking for a weekend away from the "multi chain" hotel groups where you're basically just a "number" then go to the Dunmar. Yes there are areas which are needing some attention, but this is part of the charm of a beautiful old building. My wife and I stayed two nights and we had two incredible peaceful nights sleep. The room was spotless, yes there were marks on walls etc but you'll find that in any hotel. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty, we didn't have evening meals as we were visiting friends, but on both evening's the restaurant/ bar area looked very busy. The staff were lovely and helpful and we will definitely make a return visit the next time we're in the area. These beautiful "old hotels" were part of the fabric of generations and are still worth a visit.

To be quite honest, this house needs a full refurbishment . It's dated the room I stayed in Room 1. The bathroom ceiling is ready to fall down, the shower leaks the floor is lifting,the sink has a large crack in the bowl, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling Bedroom large cracks on the walls window glass broken you can not even turn in the bed it sweaks , and the lock on door does not snib,the mattress is like a stone floor really hard Dinning room is also dated the chandler's above the tables were you eat are full of dust and cobwebs, the whole house is just very dark . The girl on reception/bar was very pleased . Don't think I will be staying here again

There were two positives only, friendly staff and plenty of parking - but oh my word, the room was shockingly bad! Quite unbelievable I felt. There was very aged film on the window so no outlook at all, felt like a prison cell. Very oppressive. The mattress was very uncomfortable - hard and with ridges, possibly springs. There were stains on the walls, filth and mould around the window, black mould residue in the bathroom, a faulty board at the bottom of the bath and the shower screen needed a new edging. The thin towels had ragged edging and the desk was very shabby. Due to having poor sleep due to the mattress, the noise above my room which sounded like a constant extractor fan, was very annoying. The owner of this hotel should be ashamed to be charging for this room. Refurbishment desperately needed.

This is a very nice hotel in a great location. It has the potential to be really good, but is quite dated and shabby in places, which the new owners are aware of. Our room was small but newly painted. The bathroom had a lovely long bath but the shower was like something out of the 1970s. The public areas, especially the garden, are very nice and comfortable. There is the same menu every day, and because it is printed in a rather old fashioned way you expect the food to be average at best. However, although limited the food was home cooked and absolutely delicious, and the breakfast was excellent. The greatest asset of the hotel is the staff. They are unfailingly kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. When our tv broke down they looked for another one without success and so bought another one which was delivered within the hour. We wish the owners well with their plans. This deserves to be a very successful and classy business

We had our daughter’s 3rd birthday party in the function hall at the Dunmar House Hotel at the weekend. The venue is perfect for a birthday party! We live locally but I didn’t realise that the hall was big enough for inflatables. The staff were all lovely and super helpful on the run up to the party and on the day. The buffet provided was lovely and the price was very reasonable especially in comparison to other venues. We would highly recommend and we will be popping up for lunch or dinner more often. We would definitely use the hall again for a party! Thanks for everything! Thank you also to Event on Trend for the light up number and Frozen cut out and King of Castle for the inflatables and soft play 😃

Stayed here beginning of July, attending concert in Stirling. Would have stayed nearer but all were sold out!. Saying that, wasn’t that far from Stirling and easily found. A short rough, potholed road leads to the hotel and a theme emerged. Met at reception by lovely lady, easy book in and given room 3 which overlooked the rear garden which looked lovely with several seats and tables. Pity had to see out through a cracked window! Bed furniture quite dated and slightly worn. Bed however very comfy. No mirror in the bedroom which was rather irksome for my wife. Left hotel about 5.30 pm and advised the receptionist that there was no mirror, she seemed surprised at this, and that the soap dispensers above the bathroom sink and in the shower were empty. Was noted and got impression that this would be resolved that night. Arrived back late evening and discovered nothing changed.. Did find a 50p sized cake of soup on the sink shelf so managed ablutions with that! Good nights sleep and then went down for breakfast. We had omelette which was rather greasy and porridge which was pretty stodgy. Apple juice pretty weak as well. Overall the hotel needs some upgrades as tired looking. Would I stay here again? If I couldn’t get in/nearer Stirling then possibly.
