Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were in need of updating and lacked some essentials like soap and shower gel, they were surprisingly spacious for my larger dog. The views from the back of the hotel left much to be desired, with scaffolding on one side and a pigeon-infested courtyard on the other. However, the rooms seemed less worn than expected.
The hotel is conveniently located, boasting accessibility to various attractions and activities. The rooms are on the smaller side and could benefit from more modern touches. The service is commendable, with a touch of personality from the staff. Dining options were mixed, with some hits and misses. The location is ideal for exploring the beauty of Scotland, but the dining area could use some improvements.
During my stay, the hotel offered decent rooms on our first visit and excellent ones later. They had all the usual features but nothing extraordinary. However, our room faced the back over the kitchen or staff entrance. The service was top-notch, with excellent and very helpful staff at all times. The location had some good history and was friendly, but the room we stayed in was not up to par. Dining was a mix of enjoyable meals and some disappointments. Overall, our experience was a mixed bag with some highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The space was a bit tight, especially for a larger dog. However, the initial room I was given was quite pokey, overlooking inner roofs with a dripping pipe all night, which wasn't ideal. Overall, it was a decent place to stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious rooms at a great price, although some areas need updating. The staff is friendly, and the location is excellent for exploring the surrounding area.
