Great location and lovely building. However, it requires some updating and things fixed.
Pros:

The Hotel was in a good location for travelling to other surrounding towns and villages. The bed was huge and really comfortable. However, the pillows disappeared when you lay your head on them. The staff were really friendly and welcoming as well.

Cons:

The Hotel looked like nothing had changed in it since the Victorian era. The carpets were all frayed and damaged. The TV's were not working due to a storm damaging the aerial around 2 weeks previous. The cold water tap in our bathroom was leaking and dripping constantly.

Truly restful, but filled with terrific entertainment and very welcoming.
Pros:

Josh was a most appreciated and fabulous member of staff, as was Kelly. They were both so eager to make us feel at home and quite special!
The entertainment, Stewart Anderson was terrific! What a master!

Cons:

The toilet roll holder in room 211, as the toilet roll slid off the hanger with even the slightest nudge as the toilet and hanger are located very close to the door. Everything was else was great!

Hotel mit eigenem Charm, sehr gutem Frühstück und sehr nettem Personal
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.
Das Zimmer und Badezimmer sind sehr groß und geräumig.
Sehr gutes Frühstück mit Buffet

Cons:

Man merkt, dass es etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Es ist jedoch trotzdem sauber und hat gerade für Schottland durch diesen Stil auch seinen eigenen Charm

Amazing Food, But We Would Not Stay Here Again.
Pros:

We all loved the food, especially the food served at dinner, everyone enjoyed their meal and the price was reasonable. I would go back for a meal in the future, but no to stay at the hotel.

Cons:

The hallways were tired and dirty, the hotel needed redecorating and modernisation. Doors were chipped and needed painting, it looked like the dinning room hadn't been decorated in decades. Rooms were clean though, but the bathrooms had no opening windows or an extractor fan, this made the rooms uncomfortably damp after having a shower or bath.

One room was smelly, we reported this to recenption and we were offered a different room, which was good, howevever one of our rooms had no plug in the bathroom sink, we asked for one to be provided and reception said they would sort that out, but they never did, so my husband couldn't have a shave the next day.

The bedrooms had thick dusty carpets, which is a problem for people with dust allergies like myself.

The bedding was cotton, which was good, but the mattress I slept on was lumpy and tilted in one direction, which was uncomfortable and I didn't sleep well here. The pillows were lumpy too and of poor quality, not what I would expect, but having staying in 4 places during this trip, I found that most beds and bedding are of poor quaity, with the exeption of the Premier Inn we stayed in, where the bed and bedding were all of a very high standard.

The shower in our room was not hot, but was warm enough to have a quck shower, so adequate, however the room was unheated, with no instructions on how to turn it on, so I was cold, especially with having long hair after my shower, no hair dirying was provided.

When my duaghter complained to me about her room smelling, reception said old buildings smell, but I live in a home that is near to 100 years old, and my home does not smell. The reason why properties smell is that fabrics in the home are not replaced for decades, such as carpets, curtains, mattresses etc... The other reason why properties smell is through lack of ventelation, such a no extractor fan in bathroom.

Overall, I would 100% eat here again, but we would choose to stay somewhere else.
