Very Comfortable Hotel, Great Customer Service

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding nearby. The staff were so friendly and helpful, letting us access our room early so we could get ready. The rooms are a good size with nice toiletries, TV, and tea/coffee. The breakfast menu was extensive and really yummy. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our whole stay. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel picked at random

We felt very comfortable during our stay. On arrival the staff were very welcoming, offered to help transport our baggage and one moved his car to let us park adjacent to the entrance. The recent refurbishment has been successful and creates a pleasant environment. The food was good and did not give the impression of having been prepared hours before. A striking feature is that all of the staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The lack of a fridge in the room was a disadvantage, particularly as we stayed during a rare Scottish tropical period.

Pleasant change from the large ‘chain’ hotels.

They accommodated my request for an early checkin which was a big help to me.
