The hotel suffered during covid time and didn't really recovered. At least it stays more affordable than the average Scottish hotels but don't expect more. You can park your car.

Right I’m going to be fair about this if you pay £80 for a room when all of the others within 30 miles are charging £140 you should realise something is up. ||||The room was basic, but reasonably clean. The only plus about the place. …

Room was clean, spacious and comfortable but the television didn’t work. The shower and bath room were clean and shower was very good. The outside of the hotel was pretty run down and tired and the lobby was very dated. Staff were helpful but only available over the phone.
