Nice room, clean and comfy. Staff friendly and decent food. TV signal intermittent. The main downside the walls are paper thin and can hear conversations in the next room, not great when neighbours chatting until past midnight and you have a 5am start..

Thin dividing walls

The hotel is in a good quiet location. The room is comfortable and clean. However, it did not give the feel of being a deluxe room that we paid extra for. The main problem was being disturbed by the next room’s conversation at 23:30, due to the thin dividing walls!

Fresh, clean, comfortable. Very friendly, helpful staff. Limited menu for a four night stay; room not fully prepared though: had to ask for cups, spoons, towels on arrival (none in room) Door handle difficult - found door did not lock from the outside on first night, handle had to be yanked up for it to lock. Having said the above, all issues attended to.

Mr Potts

Being fair the property and grounds are nice, large free carpark and on site bar / restaurant and the price of the room was ok. However.... the bed was ancient and i was lying in a trench mattress crap with something sticking up under the sheet. I actually slept on top of the quilt. Curtain rail damaged, no cover on the ironing board, digital tv channels required a retune. Bathroom fan absolutely filthy, over paint on tiles, bathroom requires a face lift. Lovely balcony but doors and window externally needed a clean. I could ho on, limited breakfast options unless you want a cooked breakfast. I travel a lot in Scotland , overall dissapointed. Real share because this place could be top notch.

A really nice place

A lovely hotel. We stayed only one night but it was comfortable and the hotel is in a really beautiful area. Really like the restaurant, was tempted to ask who designed it.
