Cute place

We spent over night. The place is a little shabby but the staff are super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. We had a room overlooking the street on a Saturday night so were not surprised to hear some revelry but it didn't last long. Overall pleasant enough.

Cairn Hotel

The good:- staff were all lovely, comfy bed and best scrambled eggs (breakfast) that i have ever had. Loads of parking (BTW car park entrance is next to coffee shop, I initially drove past it) The bad:- three of the five ceiling light bulbs weren't working (also bedside lights are too low down for reading) and room door jammed so badly that i needed help to get in The ugly:- broken toilet seat The issues above were minor but irritating. However, the cheerful and helpful staff and the excellent breakfast, together with a charming "feel" outweighed these niggles. With a wee bit more attention to detail this hotel could be fantastic
