Albergo discreto per un soggiorno durante una vacanza on the road in Scozia
Pros:

Abbiamo dormito nella depandance posta di fianco alla struttura principale. Camere spaziose. Colazione abbondante anche non alcuni piatti caldi.

Cons:

Camere un pò umide e fredde. Finestre che non isolavano completamente dall'esterno ma poco traffico.Un pò sottodimensionato lo staff per la colazione.
