Good quality, characterful stopover in a pretty town. I imagine it is busier and more fully staffed in high season, but it was fine in mid-March. Comfortable room, decent evening meal, excellent breakfast.

The room was spotless, we were giving a very warm welcome when we checked in . We only stayed 1 night and the only meal we had was breakfast. But what a breakfast, bacon sausage, fried egg, haggis , black pudding , mushrooms, fried tomatoes, tattie scone and hash browns. I would recommend this hotel to Anybody as it was very well priced for all that we got .

I found the hotel good but agree with past reviews it does need money investing in it. Our room was massive with 4 poster bed and balcony. We ate in the restaurant and the fish and chips were top notch. But best of all was the service received from Jim the man who’s seems to run the hotel all on his own. He made us feel like we were staying in a 5 star hotel. We would definitely stay here again.
