Buchanan Arms
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The dinner was delicious but was really disappointed with the breakfast. Everything brought through to the restaurant and put in pots without hot plates to keep food warm, and food didn't stay warm. Two toasters which took 10/15 mins and toast still not properly toasted. The hotel itself was lovely. The bar was very reasonable.

Enjoyable stay
Arrived at 2.40pm, made to wait 20 mins as won’t let you check-in before 3pm. Room was big and clean but far too warm had to have window open all night. Used the spa facilities but unfortunately the steam room was out of order. Had an enjoyable stay

2 night stay
Looked like room hadn’t been used for a while as dead spider in bath. Also there were only 2 coffee sachets there which turned out to be decaf so had not been topped up since previous guests had stayed. Bedding and towels were clean and fine but carpet was filthy, so bad that I had to wear shoes as I’d forgotten to take slippers. Stayed 2 nights and when we came back into the room after being out during the day housekeeping had topped up coffee, hot chocolate sachets etc and had just pulled the duvet up towards pillows but not sorted it properly nor was the room hoovered. Very disappointing.
