The staff were nice. (And so were the workers, working on the refurbishing.) Breakfast with rooftop honey. Bed and pillows were to my liking.

Gitte, United Kingdom

The location of the hotel could not of been better!! It was perfect! It was so lovely in the room, only small but just great for us! The staff where so kind and the whole building was very clean. We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely book again as it was just the most perfect location. Also, a lot of the rooms have been renovated and they looked so nice! There was places to hang clothes and shelves to put stuff on. Really handy little room. Easy to heat up or cool down to with the thermostat.

Abbie, United Kingdom

The staff were friendly and approachable. Great location and very clean!

The hotel is very nice, especially the inside, it represents really the Scottish style! The position is very comfortable, you can reach the old and new town by feet. The staff is friendly. I suggest this place!
