Stayed twice, would stay again!

Nice comfortable hotel. Room was comfortable. Staff are friendly. Breakfast good. Minor complaint was the sink in the room was slow to drain. Rooms are not the most modern, but comfortable. Being there for a weekend, people from the nightclub downstairs were a little noisy outside, but not unbearable.

Not for me

Reception was friendly upon arrival but room was essentially a box. Walk in wardrobe style bathroom. Parrot knocking about somewhere in reception. Pretty grim surroundings. Breakfast was very poor.

Nice break

Quiet enjoyable break. Rooms and shower warm, service friendly and hotel clean. Jus one or two bits needed attention, however, they have signs stating that they are currently upgrading. Breakfast was great to start you off and the pool and gym are a bonus. Location good for walks and facilities in the town. We would come back for another stay if in Forfar

Good basic hotel

This is a good basic hotel, think it may be in the process of being refurbished. Had a problem with my room, they changed rooms and apologised profusely. Friendly staff and good full breakfast. I was visiting friends so was out all day.
