Aside from the price, which was consistent with other hotels in the neighborhood (all of them a bit higher than I paid elsewhere in Scotland), I have no complaints at all -- a very pleasant hotel.
With an excellent, scenic location near the castle and cathedral, a few steps from good food, this is a lovely old house turned into a hotel. There were full wooden shutters in my room! Note: there are lots of stairs.
