It takes dedication to open a Scottish hotel under the present circumstances, and we were grateful they did! The hotel, which is in a perfect situation, did its best despite Covid restrictions to make us feel warm and welcome. Food was available, delivered to the room door and was tasty! We look forward to returning to the hotel under normal circumstances.
