The staff are lovely here, really friendly and welcoming. My room was upgraded to have a view but I was disappointed it only had twin beds instead of the queen bed booked. The food is amazing in this hotel and reasonably priced. If you’ve never tried haggis, the bon bons are a great option. Having a lift certainly makes things easier.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The bed sheets and blankets were clean, the staff were wonderful. But overall the facilities themselves were quite old and dated, and in spots totally dirty. We had urine on the floor in our restroom, the floor to the elevator was soaked in water, and overall it was just an uncomfortable stay. We loved the staff, they were all very kind, but the pictures of the building and room versus the reality of it were massively misrepresented. The view in the mornin overlooking the water is BEAUTIFUL though, and it was quiet.

Very basic. Overdue renovation. Looks a bit like a bail hostel on the outside. 2nd floor rooms have threadbare carpet, no hot water. Overall, facilities fine - breakfast not great, but cheap. Believe there’s renovations to the 2nd floor next month, but think the whole place needs some work. Probably a 2 star with 3 star facilities - ie a bar, a restaurant of sorts, a lift.

We were told since we were not in a group we could not be served until 8:00. We had drinks and then tried to be seated. We were then told that they were too busy to take care of anyone not in the group. We had too much to drive-accordingly we didn’t get dinner that tight!

The hotel is lovely and staff are helpful. The food was not so great at all. I ordered a chicken curry and it was 100% out a jar and the garlic bread was cooked from frozen and very hard. I did not have breakfast but it would be nice of the hotel had some home cooked food. The drinks were extremely over priced! The rooms were lovely and clean and parking was great too - the views were great!
