Those from the B&B right next door left us on the street and in the middle of the night, with nowhere else to go, we found the Glenturret, where they treated us wonderfully. The room had a bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. In the morning they gave us a very complete breakfast (juice, yogurt, cereals, coffee, toast). Apart from getting us out of trouble, they were very friendly and the price was more than correct. We recommend it without hesitation.
