We will came back and will recommend the Hotel to our friends.
Pros:

Lovely staff and very clean Hotel. The Hotel has been completely renovated, nice bedroom and new bathroom with modern furniture with a Scottish touch style. Lovely stay room with table games, some books to spend time reading around a stove. Cosy bar to have a drink, it should be more promoted. Plus to have parking space in the back garden. Ideal location to park the car and walking distance to all tourist attractions.

Cons:

We booked a extra bed for our boy, when he was to used the mattress was really soft, you could feel the springs.
A bit late to report as we arrived to the room a bit late and Saturday we left before 7am for a tour. He slept with us in our bed.
We will pay the extra £ 20 for the bed, although we would like to point the mattress for a boy 8 years old was too soft and uncomfortable to sleep.
