Unfortunately, my experience was marred by misleading information regarding onsite parking. The Expedia listing stated that the hotel had onsite parking with a height restriction, which clearly implied that parking was available at the property. However, upon arrival, I was informed that no onsite parking exists, and I had to make alternative arrangements at significant additional cost. After a long drive from Kingston Upon Thames, this unexpected inconvenience added stress and disrupted the start of our holiday. Accurate information is essential when planning travel, and I would not have booked this hotel had I known the parking situation. While the hotel itself was clean, the lack of transparency regarding amenities was disappointing. I hope the property ensures that third-party listings reflect accurate details to prevent similar issues for future guests. I have raised this as a complaint to Expedia.

The hotel was excellent. Comfortable. Clean. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I had medication that needed refrigeration so they kept it for me and retrieved it for me every day so I could take my injection then returned it to the fridge. The last night they placed my gel pack in the freezer so I would be able to travel with my medication. They were all so nice about the inconvenience. I was so appreciative. It is hard to travel with medications that require such restrictions but they made it so easy for me

Small and quaint. Very friendly staff and the breakfast buffet was amazing. My only disappointment was not being to dine the night before I left because of a group dinner being held in the restaurant. Otherwise, I will definitely be back on my next visit to Scotland.

The staff were very friendly, and my room was clean. However, on the last day, when housekeeping cleaned the room, they took the robe and didn’t replace it. I also noticed that they took the coffee cup and didn’t provide a new one.
