I stayed here with my wife on a Monday night away and we loved it. The hotel was absolutely immaculate and decorated to a high standard, dimly lit and definitely of a boutique feel.
So let me try and summarise the key points…
Staff were well dressed and friendly. The classic room was a really good size, with a comfy bed and a blackout curtain. The room had complimentary snacks/water/shower gels/slippers etc as well as Sky tv — all hallmarks of a good hotel.
We had cocktails in the bar on the ground floor — Jack’s — and they were decent enough. Nothing spectacular. But the chilled, calm and dark vibes in there made it a cool place to relax.
Breakfast the next morning was £20 a head but worth it. A good selection of pastries and food, basic refillable teas and coffees and a really good full Scottish.
The only down side was that my wife was awoken by building works outside at 730am, but to be fair we had been warned about this (albeit after booking — perhaps worth being more transparent?) and offered rooms on another side of the hotel (for an additional payment). I do stress that the noise wasn’t that bad, and is obviously out of the hands of the hotel.
In summary, I loved this hotel. It’s clean, trendy, chilled and feels expensive. Great job all, and thanks!
