We were expecting the stay to be basic due to the price, but the reviews looked ok and it seemed ok based on our purposes of staying to visit a relative in hospital for a couple of nights. We arrived at the hotel to find a dilapidated, boarded up old pub of the same name at the front. We arrived just before 6pm and the door had been left unlocked with the keys on the windowsill. The step and flower beds outside the room were covered in cigarette butts, the room smelled of smoke and damp and was generally run down. There were white stains on the curtains on the bathroom toilet mat, out of date buscuits with the complimentary teas and coffees, the walls were that thin we could hear the ‘neighbours’ argument very clearly at 2am in the morning on both nights (although there were ear plugs provided in the room which was helpful). We only had 2 towels despite there being 3 of us and despite requesting a third, we never received this. The bed was comfy enough and the shower worked although the bathroom was quite compact. The TV didn’t work and we just received pixelated images. ##### Sally Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Fine ##### John Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Martin Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice stay really helpful host ideal for the town centre ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marc Jun 2, 2025 Very compact, but clean and cosy.

Had to ask for the reheating to be turned on and the beds were a bit tired. ##### Rod Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### William Sep 28, 2024 Having travelled extensively across the UK this trip, this was the worst example of accommodation we have seen. We knew we had booked a budget hotel as we simply needed a spot to sleep close to early ferry to Belfast. We couldn’t imagine how bad things were based on the price paid. First, we had to call to get access to our room, which had been left unlocked and key sitting on shelf. We never did get the door to lock from outside when we went to leave for dinner. The towels could be used as sandpaper and were no longer white but dingy yellow. The room was very tired. Gobs of caulking around shower looked like it was applied by a child. Carpets had seen much better days. Critically, there was no heat. We asked and were told it would come on at 5pm. Didn’t happen. Asked again - message ignored. It is unthinkable that a room not have working heat in late September. Fortunately the bed covers were warm or we couldn’t have stayed. On a positive note, the shower water was hot but weak stream. Avoid if possible. The cheap price was not worth the poor accommodation and lost night sleep. ##### William Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vance Jun 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Once found up a side road (I was looking for the property as per photo) once found all that was required was provided for. ##### Vance Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Claire Barbara Mar 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect for requirements Perfect for what we needed. Great location for the Ferry crossing. Not an issue with no breakfast now being offered as we were travelling early morning anyway. Owner very friendly and informative. ##### Claire Barbara Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Feb 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A hidden Gem. What a little gem of a place. A very warm welcome received by the owner Sandy which is very important when you are a solo traveler. Yes it’s a basic hotel but the room was immaculately clean, warm, cosy and comfy. I had the best nights sleep. As a regular traveler to the area, I will be back for sure. Thank you Sandy for making me feel so welcome. Highly recommend this little hidden gem. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Inveraray Inn, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Inveraray-Hotels-The-Inveraray-Inn.h664350.Hotel-Information) > > [Newcastle Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Coldstream-Hotels-Newcastle-Arms-Hotel.h18244725.Hotel-Information) > > [Immaculate Cabin 5 Mins to Inverness Dog Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverness-Hotels-Cosy-Chalet-5-Mins-From-Inverness-In-The-Country.h67547809.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside Lodge Retreat - Stunning Lakeside Escape](https://www.expedia.ca/Alexandria-Hotels-Lochside-Lodge-Retreat-Stunning-Lakeside-Escape.h106230470.Hotel-Information) > > [Bridge Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tillicoultry-Hotels-Bridge-Inn.h23356772.Hotel-Information) > > [The County Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Selkirk-Hotels-The-County-Hotel.h110712003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wardhill Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverurie-Hotels-Wardhill-Castle.h30113258.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Lomond Waterfront Luxury Lodges](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Waterfront-Luxury-Lodges.h27365911.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Springs Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Springs-Hotel.h30674289.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Ness Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverness-Hotels-Loch-Ness-Cottages.h24947062.Hotel-Information) > > [The Braeriach](https://www.expedia.ca/Newtonmore-Hotels-The-Braeriach.h112532297.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunclutha Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Leven-Hotels-Dunclutha-Guest-House.h30056328.Hotel-Information) > > [The Burnside Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ayr-Hotels-The-Burnside-Guest-House.h3494500.Hotel-Information) > > [Station House](https://www.expedia.ca/Lanark-Hotels-Station-House.h11944727.Hotel-Information) > > [Foinaven Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ullapool-Hotels-Foinaven-Bed-Breakfast.h25188744.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Arms](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballater-Hotels-The-Deeside-Inn.h1422395.Hotel-Information) > > [Miller House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ayr-Hotels-Miller-House.h3494488.Hotel-Information) > > [The Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Coldstream-Hotels-The-Castle-Hotel.h34539779.Hotel-Information) > > [Premier Inn Ayr A77/Racecourse](https://www.expedia.ca/Ayr-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Ayr-A77Racecourse.h1927138.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming 10-bed House in Blairgowrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Blairgowrie-Hotels-Charming-10-Bed-House-In-Blairgowrie.h105642790.Hotel-Information) > > [Balavil Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Newtonmore-Hotels-Balavil-Hotel.h1383827.Hotel-Information) > > [Zara Continental](https://www.expedia.ca/Langholm-Hotels-Zara-Continental.h31000849.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumnock-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h8438634.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle Dhu](https://www.expedia.ca/Newtonmore-Hotels-Thistle-Dhu.h26988523.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle Apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Golspie-Hotels-Thistle-Apartment.h41450829.Hotel-Information) > > [The Golden Larches Cafe and B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Lochearnhead-Hotels-The-Golden-Larches-Restaurant-And-BB.h15418280.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Glasgow River Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Erskine-Hotels-Muthu-Glasgow-River-Hotel.h534134.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Gate, Stirling by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-Highland-Gate-By-Marstons-Inns.h33761820.Hotel-Information) > > [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information)
