A bit overpriced, rooms are a bit dated. Peeling wallpaper on ceiling in room. Breakfast was good otherwise.

Very much a review for the bar/restaurant rather than the hotel. We popped in for an evening meal as non-residents and were left feeling a little flat by the experience. The senior staff member (owner? manager?) seemed harried and had a brusque manner; very much as if having customers was an inconvenience. The menu offered a good amount of choice and the food was decent. I ordered a thai red curry and what came out was edible and tasty but was most definitely not a thai red curry. They have a fantastic, well-priced whisky list, but we elected not to stay and explore it as the service simply wasn't conducive to settling in and relaxing.

Room was pretty good condution, great sleep and breakfast was very good. With the resteraunt not being open due to season the food in the bar was limited but still good quality.

Lovely stay in the centre of town
Very accommodating and friendly host, nothing was too much trouble. Our dogs were also made to feel very welcome!
Bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and warm. Breakfast was amazing, nicest haggis I’ve ever tasted.

Checked in, and was hugely underwhelmed. Within a few minutes the fire alarm was going off - but apparently it was okay, because that floor had nobody staying there… It was freezing, dated, moldy and dirty. All for the princely sum of £160. The only redeeming features were the breakfast and the lady serving the breakfast.

Ok stay
Expensive for what you get.
Breakfast wasn’t the best, short staffed and not very attentive. Didn’t have breakfast the second day.
Receptionist staff was good
Room could do with an upgrade

Great room slow breakfast
The room was lovely and quiet ,although the bathroom was a little tired.Bed comfortable room service was very good . Breakfast service needs to be more consistent, some mornings very slick and organised other appeared chaotic , staff appeared over whelmed on occasion. Evening meal menu could do with a little more variety .Reception / bar staff were excellent. An excellent position for town explorations .
