The hotel is in a convenient location, within walking distance to various eateries and shops. The rooms were spotlessly clean with a nice big shower. The friendly staff, especially Cathy, provided prompt and helpful service, though there was late-night noise. The dining options were abundant and tasty, and the facilities were fantastic. I plan to return despite considering paying more for a better room next time.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but cozy, and despite being at the end of the hotel, they provided an excellent night's sleep. The staff was lovely, and the large bathroom and comfortable beds ensured a pleasant experience. However, accessing the room via steep, narrow stairs was a bit challenging, but overall, it was a delightful stay.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, but accessed by steep stairs. Despite being on my own due to my husband's illness, I felt safe and well taken care of. I enjoyed a restful night's sleep and a delicious Scottish breakfast in the morning. However, the water for the large corner bath was cold, and the shower pressure was weak which was a bit disappointing.
