Laurieston Vacation Rentals

"Been here before.love the hotel and facilities.Rooms could do with updating in terms of sockets/usb and furnishings but all clean and warm.What is very disappointing is that there is no signage from the road anymore and neither the entrance,the long(@1mile driveway and the car park are not lit.I don't know why signage has gone and only the forrestry commission sign for Cally forrest is at the entrance.We knew where we were going and still missed the turnoff!In this part of Scotland it is dark @3.30pm(you are in dark sky country so no light pollution or street lights) and as checkin isn't until 3 I would assume we were not the only ones that could'nt find the entrance!Once on the drive,There is still no signage(apart from the forrestry commission) or even reflctor lights,fluorescent painted stones to help indicate the narrow drive or even a sign to reassure you you are on the right road.When you arrive the car park and hotel are in darkness except for a spotlight above the door.Again not until you are at the entrance is a small plaque on the door and a door mat with the hotel name.The place looks closed up apart from there are cars in the carpark.It never used to look like that.A lit sign and lights in the carpark would all make the place look more welcoming.In daytime it is lovely.It is almost like they don't want people to find them which is a shame."
