The room was comfortable and clean. View looked out on a garden which had rubbish in it.
Staff were lovely and breakfast was nice as well.
The walls are very thin and I could hear people in other rooms talking and coughing.
Luke on reception was very friendly and helpful, rooms were comfortable and clean and the food was very good

Liked: Staff & service
The food options were excellent and so was breakfast with all scottish ingredients. The staff were excellent and very helpful and overall we had a good stay and would stay again. Positioning was handy for the train station.
A few points watch out for the prosseco small bottle as its a rip off at 10 pounds yes 10 pounds and room 209 the shower from 207 is so noisy it wakes you up.
Good location a we seer heading to John O groat's the following day. Clean comfortable and good value for money.

Liked: Cleanliness
Furniture was shabby in the room, but beds were comfortable. Staff were not very warm, except for the maid who did our room. I must have missed the information about there being no elevator, but we made it up to the third floor.
