The Townhouse is a fantastic well run hotel with a friendly team who were very welcoming. We had a comfortable tastefully decorated room with a kettle, tea, biscuits, bottled water and a fan heater if we needed additional warmth. The bathroom was compact with small shower gel/shampoo bottles along with lovely soft hand and bath towels. The choice for breakfast was extensive with fruit salad, porridge, a full Scottish and choice of eggs being offered along with tea/coffee and fruit juices! What we had was delicious. We would love to stay here again.
