Our morning tea stand was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it. However, due to a memorial service taking place in the main House for an Art Lover exhibition; we were unable to take the audio tour. This was very disappointing. I understand that these events take place, but the cafe knew we had a combined booking. An email ahead of the day could have allowed us to reschedule the whole experience for another day. The lady in the shop gave us vouchers to come again to do the tour which was very kind of her but sadly we felt a little disappointed that our visit hadn't been what we'd planned.
The lady in the shop advised us to check their website before visiting again in case of a similar incident

It was all lovely the only complaint was it was too much .

I bought this as a present for my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent and we cleared our plates. The mimosa was a nice touch and there was plenty of tea as well. The service was good too as was the atmosphere. The audio tour of the house was interesting and enjoyable and it was all great value for money. I’ve already recommended to my family and friends.

Lovely breakfast followed by self directed audio tour around the building. You get an individual handset to use and you punch in the number for each room.
It was so peaceful when we visited. My cousin from Canada was very impressed.
We were last here December 2018 when we were celebrating my mum's 100th birthday in 'The View' with family and friends.
Memories of a great day.
Would definitely purchase this deal again.

First Impressions:
Cigarette ends and litter at entrance area.
Staff appeared tired and disinterested.
Wilted roses on window cill.
Gent’s toilet needed a good clean!
Food:
Mediocre.
Small bacon rolls were okay but a deep fried, well done potato scone on a roll?
Toast with avocado and poached egg - Toast was so hard we couldn’t cut it with a table knife. Poached eggs were cold.
Scones were small and tasty but one small pot of jam between two was miserly.
Audio Tour:
Well, that couldn’t happen because there were preparations for a wedding taking place. We were given a voucher to have an audio tour sometime in the next few weeks but as this venue is primarily used for functions, it is likely that it would be nigh on impossible for that to happen. Also, we were disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy the tour on Sunday as we live a distance away. Very misleading and unfair to offer an audio tour as part of the voucher.
Worst Itison deal ever and certainly would not recommend the cafe in
‘House for an Art Lover’.

We had the brunch and tour deal which was incredible value for money. The brunch was delicious and dietary requirements were taken into account without any issues. Staff were friendly and attentive.
The House was interesting to visit and the audio guide was a great addition.

We had a poor experience at House of an Art Lover - our food was lukewarm (as we were 10 minutes late) and the rolls were very dry. We weren't too worried and the service was great. However after we finished our food we were told that the building was booked for the day and we couldn't take our tour.
Completely ruined our trip - I had brought a relative from California and now we are unable to tour the building. No warning was given, no opportunity to book an alternative day. Really disappointing.

The breakfast tea was a nice spread, plenty of choice and very tasty. We were left alone once we had everything so we didn’t get the opportunity to order further drinks or ask questions. We were then not able to do the tour as there was a wedding which it would have been good to know before booking as we had travelled into Glasgow for the day especially but they did write on a card so we can go back for a tour at a later date.

It was a fantastic experience, both the breakfast and the tour really excellent.

Didn’t see the house. Should have been told that when we booked
