Weekend at Knockhill.

Checked into room via the pub , with after hours access by outdoor staircase, as nobody on site when pub was closed. The room was clean, but cramped with two single beds. The continental breakfast assortment was outside of the bedrooms, for you to help yourself, and eat in the room. Overall it was a satisfactory stay.
