All staff we interacted with at Bettyhill Hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. The property itself is steeped in history and renovated to keep with the history yet incorporate modern comforts. Every part of the hotel is clean and the food was exceptional from the takeaway we ordered for dinner to the made to order hot breakfast.

Overated.

Very basic room, clean but no complimentary water in room. Reception was unmanned so access to service involved going into the bar to request anything.
