My room provided was on the top floor, but there is no elevator. The woman who checked me in carried my big heavy suitcase all the way up the stairs. I'm so grateful for her help. I have some mobility issues with stairs. Everything else is super comfortable. Excellent water pressure, soft fluffy towels, big wonderful bed and bedding.

Our rooms on the first floor were very noisy with sounds from the streets and the sea birds. It was a hot week in Scotland and the rooms didn’t cool down at night. Overall it was a fine room with a nice location.

Reserved a specific room that could sleep 3 people, 2 adults and a child. When I got to the hotel they gave me a similar room that only slept 2 adults for the same price and then charged me £15 for an additional cot bed that had a 2” mattress on springs. Staff was rude while addressing the issue saying it wasn’t their problem. Great area, pick a different hotel if you want what you paid for and reserved months in advance.
