Nice little hotel of which we had been unreasonably warned beforehand about the very country styled and old fashioned design of it.And yet it suprised me with the best food I had up to date in scotland as well as a very on spot service.Even if the hotel might take it up a notch when it comes to design its still a nice spot to enjoy your stay in scotland!!! Keep it up!

My husband stayed here after travelling for work for 1 night, but booked 2 nights. The room was clean on first look and smelled clean and fresh. Room was spacious. If going to be niggly the TV buttons could do with a clean as they were stucky and dusty, and the signal wasnt great for the freeview TV, but that wasnt an issue as he didnt use the TV. Breakfast was standard set up, orderd a full brekkie but some items were not available but was still cooked great and tasted good. A traditional scottish atomosphere which was lovely. Staff were amazing on the stay, cant fault them.Traffic noise wasnt as bad as expected due to some reviews, morning traffic was worse with deliveries to hotel and surrounding buildings but thats to be expected.

Stayed here before but not for a long time. The rooms on the top floor seem to have had a refresh since my last visit. No complaints at all about the room, tv didn’t work second night but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. …

Loved this small, family run hotel. It was spotless and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms are small but very clean and with everything you need. The breakfasts and dinners were excellent. Highly recommend and hope to return!

Tiny room, tiny bath and shower could not move. Old hotel. They tried to modernize it. Bath floor slopes down, floor outside bathroom sink in. We were on a group tour. Old town. Young people serving in dining room. 13 ur old took our drink orders.

Everything in this hotel was superb, but it was very badly let down by the breakfast we had on Wednesday morning. Sausage wasn't cooked through, bacon was overcooked, could hardly cut it, and we have no idea what happened to the scrambled egg, didn't look or taste like eggs, very rubbery. It was really sad to leave with that memory, because as I said everything else was first class.
