NOT THE BEST OF STAYS, BUT EXPENSIVE
We arrived after storm Eowyn had caused problems in Scotland. The hotel was quiet, lots of events had been cancelled.
Reception staff greeted us, explained the 'usual' information, wifi, car park charges, breakfast. What they failed to say was rather than face the still high wind and rain on way back from car park, park the car on level two, and use the connecting door directly into the hotel. We only realised this fact when leaving two days later.
On reaching our room, we were pleased with how clean everywhere was.
It seemed obvious that the room was newly decorated by the slight smell of new plaster.
Then you look a little closer, damage to paintwork was evident, electrical plug sockets not fitted level on the wall (which made you think unsafe to use), light fitting (reading lamp at bed) literally hanging (swinging) off the wall.
The bathroom, the sliding glass door looked great, but not very practical. The lock on it, flimsy. The toilet was fitted onto the wall about 4" too high!! Im 5'7" tall. Im not short, im not tall, my legs were swinging, i felt like a child!!
I can never understand why those 'hose guides' are fitted shower hose, that can be lifted out of its holder, but restricted. On occasions when you dont want wet hair, or you want to shower a child without getting water in their face, those little bits of restrictive plastic are an absolute joke.
Breakfast was a dried up buffet. The bread crusty, bacon awful, just not great considering cost!
