The stay was very good and room was quiet. Only change would have been to have a bar fridge! Loved the chocolates on the room! Bartender was very nice and personable!
Great location and clean. More spacious than many places in Scotland for hotel stays.
However, breakfast is very expensive for what you get and I did have a broken shower drain that caused a bit of bathroom flooding, however they said it would be fixed before the next guest used the room.
Very friendly, helpful welcome when checking in, lovely room and hotel.
The only thing I'd change is for them to do food, as only breakfast was available.
Will definitely be staying again!
Thank you 😊
Whole hotel was spotless
Hotel is on 3 levels although no lift but no great issue
Had breakfast one day plenty on offer and all freshly cooked buffet style. There is an additional charge
Hotel is very central and town centre is easily walkable
Didn’t use the bar facilities.
Car park is at rear and charges £10 per day
Would recommend

Stay was ok, no lift, pay for parking, Good location.
- A lift would have been an improvement for the older generation.
- Parking good.
- Receptionist charming and helpful.
- Room kept very clean and towels changed.
- Did not have breakfast so cannot comment.
We ended up having a studio suite located on exterior of the property. It was very clean, washer/dryer combo we didn’t expect, and an overly large bathroom. The suite was good to relax. Everything looked like photos.
The breakfast, that you have to order the day before was excellent, plentyfull hot & well cooked. The young waitress was helpful, attentive & very pleasant. Parking was excellent, numerous spaces & behind hotel & safe.
