Safe, but not secure, parking across the (quiet) Main Street. Staff were friendly and helpful, the room and bathroom were clean and well prepared. The breakfast was excellent, with plentiful healthy options to choose from.

Great location. Service was spectacular. Free parking across the stress was a nice perk. Bar, dinner and breakfast service was the highlight. The room was smaller than anticipated but the service around the hotel would bring us back.

Great location, easy to find, lots of parking, and staff were wonderful. The room was very unique and had full amenities present, however the heated bathroom towel rack did not work and the TV had a poor signal. The bed was comfortable, had a cute sitting area, and they provided a wireless phone charger which was really nice to have. We were there during quite warm weather and the room was initially unbearably hot - but improved with open windows and a fan. We would stay here again as the people were lovely.

Such a great little hotel in a cozy small village. Traveling with a friend and our plans got blown away by Storm Amy. We scrambled and found this hotel at the last minute, which was one of the best parts of the trip. Travel weary from hours of driving, we walked in and immediately received a warm greeting, given our room key, and offered dinner in the dining room. The food was so good my friend and I nearly cried. It reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The staff were professional and friendly and they even had singers in the bar for evening entertainment. I will definitely book at this place again when I travel to Scotland and always remember the good time I had here.
