Been a long while coming. Stayed here a couple of times. Absolutely loved it there. Very friendly staff and the pancakes they made were really good. Not far from the centre, nice little walk probably about 20 minutes to the mile. Happy to be met with traditional Scottish weather the first time. Didn't put a downer on it.

We stayed with my family in a room at the hotel, specifically the one facing the front on the ground floor. The hotel is a period mansion converted into a hostel. It is economical so you can't expect too much... …

Bruce charged me both online and in person. I made frequent calls to be refunded but he never got back to me. Amenities were also bad. Who DOES this!? What a lousy way to do business. So many honest and charming places to choose from. Steer clear of this one.
