For the price it was fine for one night. Wouldn't have liked to stay more than one night as the mattress was very uncomfortable. The hotel is in need of renovation, but I can't complain as we only paid 37 for the room. The service was good and with a smile.

The room was spacious, the bed was comfy and the shower was nice and warm! The staff were very helpful. The food is good value for money but quite plain, don't expect anything overly exciting! The deserts were fantastic though!

Great to see these small independent hotels still thriving! So much friendlier & far more character than the usual ‘run of the mill’ commercial chains. Would happily book again.

Excellent room with very comfortable beds and quality towels in the bathroom. Breakfast was good but a a higher quality sausage and some haggis or black pudding would have been welcome. Excellent value overall but not quite enough parking.
