Lovely hospitality in a delightful village.
Pros:

Friendly, welcoming home in the heart of this little village. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner - each delicious and freshly cooked, as well as well sign posted walks in the forest across the road.

Cons:

The double bed was quite firm, but in good condition. The pillows were quite thin but two together worked well.

Echt schottisch

Es gab nichts derartiges

Definitely recommend
Pros:

Good value. No hidden extras ie dogs were inclusive as was the car park and breakfast. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was perfectly clean and bathroom. Even little things like bottles of spring water and chocolate bars not necessary by a nice touch and noticed. Pub attached for dinner and drinks. Liked it so much I’m going back to stay in about a week on my way back from Scotland. Just off the A 9 so good stopover.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Pros:

Clean and comfortable room, even if a bit worn. Tasteful breakfast and excellent service from all of the staff during check inn, breakfast, in the pub and evening meal. The local pub with nice choices of single malts and local beers was a kind of hot spot in the hotel, as the pool table seemed very popular.

Cons:

I wish the shower cabinet was a wee bit larger.

preisgünstige / saubere Unterkunft mit Vintage-Charme und sehr netten Gastgebern
Pros:

sehr gutes Frühstück und gutes Restaurant, nette Gastgeber, relativ günstig, schöne Lage

Cons:

die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, für den Preis aber ok, erinnerte mich an meine Kindheit, also eher vintage feeling, daher für mich nicht störend:-)sondern eine nette Abwechslung
