Lovely hotel
My stay at the hotel as always was really good! Staff are really friendly and my room this time was great as I was on top floor so really quiet. Food is amazing!! £10.40 for a glass of wine is quite steep though.

The hotel is undergoing a renovation, and while the completed parts of the hotel are beautifully finished and furnished, the overall experience of the stay was tarnished by noisy building work commencing early in the morning, the views outside the property and from the bedroom window were spoiled. My room was lovely. It has obviously been recently refurbished, however there is no sound proofing and every movement and noise from adjoining rooms can be heard clearly through the wall. This lead to a very poor nights sleep. Other than this, the food was good, the price was fair, the staff were fine, and when finished the hotel will be lovely. Just need to fix the thin walls!

I regularly stay here as it is a small friendly hotel with good food. The building site isn’t too intrusive but the hotel will benefit from enlarging. Great staff.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a difficult one. It’s a local business providing much needed jobs and obviously trying to improve. It seems the food/restaurant side of the business is the main income, however there’s parts of that neglected as well. First impressions are good but, when you really look, chairs are scuffed and torn and not of an acceptable standard. Likewise the rooms. First impressions are good but when you actually look you see poor quality finishing and poor quality maintenance. They are charging around £120 (depending on when you book), but in reality this is a £60/70 room hotel. When we stayed, there was only a couple of rooms booked and it shows why. There’s only a few hotels in the area and they are obviously price sensitive to them, but sadly they don’t actually match the competition so are overpriced. I’m not saying don’t stay there, I’m saying it’s overpriced for what is offered.

On or second a 3 week trip through Scotland. The best nights sleep, best dinner and friendliest staff we have ever met. Yes I am telling all my fellow travellers about this wonderful place. The parking is on a slope, so park at the top if walking up hill is a issue. Best of the Best, Thanks you for such a wonderful stay.
