Chill out

Love staying here, so peaceful and relaxing. Have stayed many times over the years. A lovely old building, no pool or spa or beauty rooms, so if that's your preference this is not the place for you. Staff are always lovely and helpful.

Never again

No staff. Stressed staff. Rude £8 tray service and cold expensive but tasty supper. Breakfast diabolical . No sign of the Stornaway black pudding as per menu just a dehydrated haggis. I felt sorry for the staff apart from the rude man who snatched a pen from my hand after I pointed out that my bill was wrong. He said he’d fix it and marched off. He did not fix it. Silly me I stayed here years ago and I had a similar experience . Thought I’d try again . Doh.

Work stay

It met my needs for a bed to stay for the night, but room service was very slow for ice , had to recall (I know…. 1st world problems). Also the shower curtain was quite dirty, surprised to still see one of them in a hotel. Parking was very poor but there was a wedding on. This was unfortunately under my room but was nice to hear their last dance 😂.
