Converted from a former church manse into a hotel this place offers an unique combination of traditional elements and true Scottish feeling, directly located at the main road. …

Because of my wife's very restrictive diet we went to the hotel in the afternoon to ask what was available. We were greeted by Ashley, a member of the owner's family.  …

Had a lovely dinner here tonight. The lady working was wonderful and very welcoming. |Great food... magnificent chips and great value for money. We paid double the previous night, for mediocre food! We enjoyed the banter very much too. The homemade tartare sauce was lovely.

Not staying here but was recommended to us by the owner of our B&B. We where greeted with a warm welcome in the bar and as we wanted to have food we're given the option of where we would like to eat. In the bar or as we chose taken through to the lounge. The food is that of a fresh home cooked meal with the portions being excellent for the price. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Would highly recommend if staying in the area.

This hotel may appear old-fashioned and homely, even quirky, but don't let that put you off. You'll get an enthusiastic and warm welcome and be served with a smile. It's very decent food as well, promptly served. A good pub meal that offers value.

The lovely women running this place took me in and gave me a place to stay when there were problems with another place in the "bad part of town". I appreciate the kindness and found the place exactly what one would want as a traveler - they are a comfortable town inn with a good restaurant and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
