the room was clean. it had good facilities. the staff were attentive and helpful. the breakfast offered a great range of options like cooked meals, pastries, cereal and fruit.
i was told upon arrival that our room was the last for a makeover. within minutes, i walked over to the window and went through a hole in the floorboards. the bannister rail at the top of the spiral staircase was loose, i thought i was going to fall down the stairs as it gave way.

adequate stay with some issues

broken latchpoor maintenance
The room was small. the window latch was broken, it posed a security risk since it was on the ground floor. i expected better maintenance for the price I paid. The room was not well maintained.

wonderful stay!

warm welcomeearly bag dropwide rangesmall shower
i was greeted warmly upon arrival. i was allowed to drop off my bags early so i could explore the area. the breakfast room decoration is really special. i enjoyed the wide range of continental options alongside a full scottish breakfast.
the shower was very small, i was barely able to move once inside it with the doors shut.
