Nice Hotel, but shame about seagulls

Very friendly and helpful receptionist when we arrived at desk. Hotel in nice area of town. 15 mins walk to city centre. Lovely walk, close by, along promenade to harbour area. Room 12 twin, small but adequate. Room luckily had an upright fan, which was very much appreciated, due to unusual hot spell in North Scotland. There was 4 small top windows you could open, which we did. Unfortunately right outside our windows, were 2 flat roofs with nesting seagulls. They were very noisy up until 10.30-11pm and again from 5am. Breakfast lady, was very good and looked after us so well. At an extra cost you could have a Continental Breakfast at £10, consisting of cereals, fresh fruit, natural or pot yoghurts, pastries, fresh juice, tea, coffee and toast or Cooked Breakfast £15; choosing 7 cooked items from menu, toast, fruit juice, tea or coffee. Billiard room at back, near restaurant. Parking at back for 5-6 cars or plenty room at side of road. Nice Hotel, but shame about seagulls.

Very nice and extra clean. Very quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the beach. I checked in after hours so I didn’t meet any staff, but they quickly answered the phone and helped me every time. Highly recommended.

This property was uninviting from the start, the outside is full of weeds. Front of house managed by one member of staff who dealt with registration, dining and everything else. The menu was limited and basically freezer to fryer. The rooom was ok but mouldy shower very off putting as were the previous occupants clothes still in one of the drawers Overpriced for the quality

Pleasantly surprised

Room booked included a kitchen area which allowed for a more spacious room. It was clean, quiet, apart from squealing seagulls, nothing anyone can do about that. My two negatives were the bed, it has been well used and you can feel the mattress dents in it and the bathroom - it is way too small. I banged my legs and head many times when trying to bend and move about.
