My husband and I were so well looked after here. The manager went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Food was just perfection, tasted like a home cooked meal and was pure comfort. The facilities were clean and well presented. If we ever have the pleasure of returning to Scotland we will be going out of our way to stay here again.

The contact number on the website leaves you unanswered, so there is no way to contact them before your booking Arrives at hotel before check in and there is no members of staff apart from 2 cleaners. There is 2 numbers on the front desk for call if there is no staff, however again, there was no answer. Eventually the manager arrived rubbing his eyes Poor service from what I can only assume to be the manager. Sighed at every question asked and made us feel like an inconvenience because we arrived early. There is a storm outside and we asked if we could sit inside to wait for check in, and again, the manager sighed and said we could sit at the chairs at the front door. We actually left instead because of the way he made us feel, and sat outside in the car during a storm. We arrived again at 3:50 to check in as this "manager" said check in was between 3pm and 4. No answer at the front desk again. We catch a cleaner and ask them for this man to check us in. He refused to come down stairs and told the cleaner we would need to wait another 10 minutes. The next morning, once again, no staff for breakfast. The breakfast was extremely poor poor quality. The options are ridiculously limited as is clearly served as a first come basis. If you are entering any later than 8am then everything is gone. We had a dog and wanted to clarify if we could sit inside so we called the number at the desk. This same manager answered and told us he would be right down. No one showed and left.

From and unwelcoming hotel overall. Clean room and comfortable bed but poor shower and television reception. Substandard service and limited selection of foods at breakfast and did not have a number of the foods offered on the limited 3 options on the breakfast menu e.g. porridge with berries and honey - NO BERRIES 1st thing on Sunday morning. Bar closed and no food available in the hotel at all due to ‘lack of staff’. Private function until midnight on our first night meant we did not get to sleep until after it stopped at midnight.
