The Cairn hotel is an older hotel, and in need of updating in places, I found the staff were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I had a small single room, which was adequate for my needs. But I did notice a couple of small areas in the ensuite shower room where it looked as though repairs had been left unfinished. There was no health and safety issue, as far as I could see, but it just looked like it needed finishing. My room, and the areas of the hotel I experienced (lobby, bar, restaurant) were all impeccably clean. The bed was very comfortable. ✅️ The breakfast was excellent 👌 The two evening meals I ate were tasty, but I was a little disappointed that when I went down for dinner on the Sunday evening they had run out of the roast dinner. But it was very busy. A big plus for me was that a very reasonably priced packed lunch was provided on request.

Cute place

We spent over night. The place is a little shabby but the staff are super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. We had a room overlooking the street on a Saturday night so were not surprised to hear some revelry but it didn't last long. Overall pleasant enough.

Cairn Hotel

The good:- staff were all lovely, comfy bed and best scrambled eggs (breakfast) that i have ever had. Loads of parking (BTW car park entrance is next to coffee shop, I initially drove past it) The bad:- three of the five ceiling light bulbs weren't working (also bedside lights are too low down for reading) and room door jammed so badly that i needed help to get in The ugly:- broken toilet seat The issues above were minor but irritating. However, the cheerful and helpful staff and the excellent breakfast, together with a charming "feel" outweighed these niggles. With a wee bit more attention to detail this hotel could be fantastic
