Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms, although a little small, were very comfortable. I enjoyed looking out onto the carpark from my ground-level room, and the reduced rates made booking even better. The service I received couldn't have been more friendly and reassuring. The location just off the motorway was perfect for my day trips, and I spent a lot of time outside on the grass taking in the lovely surroundings. The dining experience was really good, especially the full Scottish breakfast I had. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel offered spacious and comfortable rooms with a great view, ample parking, and a quiet ambiance despite being over the bar. The cleanliness and provided amenities were exceptional. The service was charming, welcoming, and quick to assist with delicious soup and sandwiches. The location was relaxing, ideal for stopovers, easy to find, and convenient for those traveling from north to south. The dining experience was very nice, offering a variety of cereals, fruit, and traditional Scottish options. Overall, great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the stunning and secluded location and the fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. The room was spacious, with a lovely bay window overlooking beautiful grounds and hills. The service was impeccable, with a very helpful owner and staff ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious meals and a great breakfast selection. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
