Deer were in back of property. Maggie and the owner were both very nice, friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and heat took a while to warm up though we slept warm. Hot chocolate was really good. Also, both the Scottish breakfast and the pancake breakfast were good.

Enjoyed the feel of the place. Service was very quick and staff friendly. Food excellent. Room was very adequate and had an abundance of tea and coffee sachets especially the milk portions. Unfortunately there was no teaspoons. This is the only let down but it was no hardship.... we improvised. Would stay again.

Check in was great, felt very welcome. It’s an old house, quirky. On way up to room could definitely feel the odd sunken floorboard Brushed against the wooden radiator cover on the landing and it promptly came away from the wall with us scrabbling to catch it. The room wasn’t huge, but had 2 chairs so that was a bonus. The floor slopes from the door to the window, quit a bit. Enough for a 4x4 wooden plank to be put under one side of the bed to make it level. The bed, although only a double, was actually wry comfortable. The shower room was pretty small, that’s ok but the actual shower was tiny. My hubby could hardly get in the doors, once he was in, he filled the space, could hardly turn round and had no chance of retrieving the soap when he dropped it LOL The bar area was good and a great view of the garden. Breakfast. Well, the tea and toast was good. I don’t recommend getting the scrambled egg and salmon, think the whole lot was microwaved together, it was still in the shape of the bowl when on th plate. My hubby had full breakfast, the bacon tasted microwaved too and the rest tasted bland. All in all its needs updating and someone who can cook breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful but we definitely don’t think it was value for money, we’ve stayed in far better places for a lot less.

Nice hotel in scenic location

In many ways more like B&B rather than hotel. Public bar downstairs. Breakfast very nice and owner friendly and helpful. Set in a small village with very nice surrounding countryside. My only criticism would be that it was quite expensive for a B&B.
