We were instantly upgraded due to a leak caused by storm Amy in our room. The staff were so good and nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was wonderful, we had the full Scottish breakfast and enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails in one of two bars. Can’t fault this place! I’d go back for sure!

It’s a charming older hotel with a lot of character. Rooms are quiet, clean & tidy. Stayed for a week & was extremely comfortable. Used their restaurant for all the breakfasts and sometimes their lunch or dinner menu’s too. There were a variety of options on the menu, good value and very satisfying.

The place was great… totally felt like I was in an Agatha Christie novel… great vegan options too… my room was cute and clean… only complaint was the obvious damage of something previous on the ceiling so it felt a little less special.

Very friendly staff from all parts of the team (restaurant, bar and hotel). Extremely clean and comfortable with a view to being eco-friendly. The restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner was high quality & value with a variety of choices. Had a small problem with logging onto the Wi-Fi at one point and seemed to be a little slow, but not really a big deal.

Lovely hotel

Friendly staff and lovely clean fresh room. We didn’t eat there but the food looked good. Only issue was check in and out. Had to ring the reception bell multiple times then go to bar and ask for help. If you fix this issue it will be a perfect place to stay. Would definitely go back
