MIENTEN
Pros:

Que tenían una habitación preciosa que existe, por la que pagamos y pero no nos dieron porque la reservaron otras personas más días.

Cons:

Mienten en la descripción de la habitación, en el tamaño, la cama que dicen que es extra grande y es doble, las utilidades, todo. Me dieron largas para no solucionarme el problema y aguantarme con lo que me dieron. Me dijeron que esperase a una respuesta del manager y sigo esperando. Nadie me ha llamado para ofrecer una solución o compensación. Cuidado con este lugar

quirky
Pros:

Hotel is very quirky and quite old fashioned in a good way, it suits the style of the building. Room was up 2 flights of stairs, no lift or offer of assistance with the bag. Room was comfortable but old fashioned could benefit from some upgrades, bathroom was very out dated and handle on toilet cistern was hanging off the wall.

Cons:

The bar was a strange experience, the barman sat at a table to the side and didn't get up til you rang the bell on the bar. Limited choice of draught beer /no draught lager, we were only offered bottle lager, he wasn't very engaging.
Bar closed at 10pm

Won't Recommend.
Pros:

We travelled to Scotland to experience the Scottish traditions. I thoroughly enjoyed the decor in this hotel. It is very dated, but seemed authentically Scottish.

Very good breakfast.

Cons:

Terrible shower and temperature. Don't expect a refreshing hot shower.

Avoid, avoid, avoid
Pros:

Wood pannelling and tartan carpets and curtains gave it a scottish lodge feel

Cons:

The owner clearly learned how to run a hotel by watching episodes of fawlty towers. The rudest man we have ever met. The food was awful and way over proced.The hotel is run down which is a shame because it has the potential to be really good. The owner simply wants to take tourists money and does not care about the services provided or repeat custom. Without doubt. this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. AVOID!

Pros:

L'aspect extérieur et le côté rustique a l'intérieur (couloir, espace commun)
Le petit déjeuner était bien.

Cons:

La chambre mérite clairement d'être rénovée, trop vieillissant pour paraître propre.
Petit chauffage fonctionnel mais limite pour l'espace a chauffer.
