"Really, really appreciated the staff. Went out of their way to help us several times. This alone made it our favourite place to stay. We cancelled booking elsewhere and came back. Available: Telephone charge rental, taxi service, baggage storage, different kinds of charging outlets. Breakfast was fantastic. Many choices to suit people with different tastes, appetites, and dietary needs. Very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The room is climate controlled. Sheets nice. Pillows in great shape. Mattresses better than most in Scotland. Black out curtains made it dark. Water in the room, milk for coffee, decaf options and higher quality tea in room were a nice touch. Towels nice cotton. Shower options and water pressure great. Water was nice and clean. In room hand soap was organic (from Ireland) and not hard on sensitive skin."

"Great location, hotel and suite room. Great room clean each day. Hotel lovely and clean blending old with modern nicely. Cooked breakfast as you'd expect. Would have liked more variety and proper fresh pastries or pancakes/waffles. The offering felt a little cheap for a classy hotel! I tried scrambled eggs but alas, not good! P.s, I don't have cooked breakfast so alternatives would have been good. Also, a proper coffee machine as I missed my latte each morning! Would stay again but go out to eat."
