United States of AmericaGreat location and hotel. Just for us personally the quilts/duvets were so heavy and rooms so warm we did not sleep even with the window open. That being said for Oct in Scotland the weather can be super cold so the appreciation for keeping visitor warm was appreciated. Would actually stay there again though hands down due to location, staff and overall facilities.
