Great location, fantastic restaurant friendly , helpful young staff, modest but spotless accommod
Pros:

Dinner was the outstanding feature of this hotel. It was outstanding in quality and we would hugely recommend. The young staff were impressive and took the initiative to offer us a better and more convenient room without fuss.

Cons:

The hotel doesn’t quite live up to the restaurant but was fine for an overnight stay. Unfortunately we were initially given the key to an already occupied room which caused some embarrassment.

Was clean and tidy and in a good location to stay. Pity about the breakfast though.
Pros:

The full scottish breakfast was OK but the eggs benedict was poor. The eggs were hard and it was not that hot. Not the best taste either.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better. Coffee not that hot out of the pot.
