Good quality, characterful stopover in a pretty town. I imagine it is busier and more fully staffed in high season, but it was fine in mid-March. Comfortable room, decent evening meal, excellent breakfast.

The room was spotless, we were giving a very warm welcome when we checked in . We only stayed 1 night and the only meal we had was breakfast. But what a breakfast, bacon sausage, fried egg, haggis , black pudding , mushrooms, fried tomatoes, tattie scone and hash browns. I would recommend this hotel to Anybody as it was very well priced for all that we got .
