Great place to stay. Breakfast is amazing. Just a bit far from town centre
Beautiful old building with wide open staircases and entrance hall.
Our deluxe suite was warm and cosy and a nice place to be. Its set far enough back from the road that theres no noise.
We had breakfast both days (breakfast roll and full Scottish) and both both were fantastic but the New Years Eve meal was by far the winner, couldnt fault any of it.
Staff were friendly and accomodating even when I had to move our dinner reservation slightly at the last minute.
The hotel is far enough away from big towns to benefit some lovely views and drives nearby and even has a waterfall and walks right out the back, but not too far from towns that you are isolated.
The only thing I could possibly fault was the shower. The water pressure was so poor it was just a trickle that barely tinsedthe soap off you. Whilst the temperature of the water was eother stone cold freezing or out of the kettle boiling with nothing in between no matter how minir the adjustment to the dial was.
Whilst the shower was disappointing we wouldnt hesitate to stay again as overall we had a wonderful trip away.
Fabulous place to stay. Staff warm and welcoming. Great location. Beautifully decorated. Easy walking distance into town. Great breakfast. Would highly recommend.
