Pros:

Very cute rooms in a central location, neat and clean and all necessities available (including tea, milk and kettle; fresh ground coffee with a french press, some cookies). The downstairs bistro is great for breakfast or a quick bite in the evening, but cannot be heard at all which is nice.

Cons:

Nothing

Lovley .. great location lovley staff very modern and clean
Pros:

Modern clean felt more like a hotel standard than a inn standard top quality

Cons:

The cleaners start realy early from 6 am difficult to sleep through , the bathrooms also had a sewage type smell so I think it could be the drains as the place was spotless

Great for a one or two night stop
Pros:

Good one night stop off on the way from Manchester to the Highlands. Very central, overlooking a pedestrian area. The Sugarboat restaurant had great breakfast choices and a good vibe in the evening. The room was over the resaurant area, but didn't hear any noise - well soundproofed. Massive smart TV, commfortable bed, very clean. Bedroom and bathroom small but nicely done.

Cons:

Noise from outside the restaurant if window open. Rather warm, no air con, so probably not great in a summer heatwave.

Pros:

The room was very clean & parking was easier than I expected. The bed was super comfy & the shower was excellent. The room was very prettily presented.

Cons:

I wasn't sure how to return my key out of hours. Info could be added to a card in the room.
