Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a perfect base for touring the area, with clean and comfortable rooms. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was excellent. However, the bathroom tiling needs attention. Great value for money overall.
The hotel is in a beautiful part of Scotland, perfect for touring, with excellent staff and great food. The rooms are clean, warm, and comfortable with a view out onto the main street. However, they are in need of updating. The location is ideal for days out and for various needs, offering a first-class experience with hopes of many return visits.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfortable rooms and great bonuses like bike storage garages, but some maintenance issues like the hanging towel rail and worn wooden surfaces. The large walk-in showers were a real highlight for me.
