Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the property is a bit dated it was well maintained. The bed was huge and really comfortable and I appreciated being able to have a bath with large soft luxurious fluffy white towels. The staff I encountered were friendly and there was a great choice at breakfast. Downsides were the shower was a bit weak and the WiFi only worked about 50% of the time.

The food options were excellent and so was breakfast with all scottish ingredients. The staff were excellent and very helpful and overall we had a good stay and would stay again. Positioning was handy for the train station. A few points watch out for the prosseco small bottle as its a rip off at 10 pounds yes 10 pounds and room 209 the shower from 207 is so noisy it wakes you up.
