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.

Our one night stay here was good in general. Not much interaction with staff. Entry to reception through the main front door proved difficult as entry was only via key card which you dont have until you have checked in. Entry through the bar to reception. The hotel was clean and food was very good.

The hotel is pretty run-down. The room was clean, the TV worked but the beds were very narrow and uncomfortable. The toilet was clean, and there were towels, but again it was very small (shower, no bath).The breakfast in the morning was adequate, but with a bus load of Chinese tourists, the single person at breakfast was overrun. I would not recommend it

Check in for two nights, we were told on arrival that it was chefs night off but would be open the following night but it wasn’t. A complete stranger opened our room door to come in on the second evening. He had been told this was his room, but obviously it wasn’t. The room had the bed against one wall which was inconvenient. It is in a great spot, easily accessible to the town and railway station.
