Came up to Nigg for work for a few days. Availability meant that I could only stay for one night, but would have happily stayed here for the whole trip. Clean, friendly and an excellent breakfast. Exactly what I was looking for.

It is a lovely location and easy to walk to the town, however my experience was marred by not getting a double bed as booked, the boiler being broken and having staff placing column heaters in my room, but sadly no heat in the bathroom and then in the morning not enough hot water for a shower. Disappointing
