Although the room was small, it was clean, extremely well maintained, traditional yet still modern and very comfortable. Some noise from the pub downstairs in the evenings but generally quiet from around 11pm. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

A busy lively hotel. We stayed for the etape Caledonia cycle. The hotel was very proactive and offered a takeaway breakfast and bicycle storage. Although the hotel had live music and a good atmosphere, our room was quiet and peaceful despite being directly above the bar. We had dinner in the bar and the venison burgers were delicious.The staff were very competent and friendly. Will definitely return to McKays!
