Cheap and cheerful - but good was an absolute no no!
Pros:

Views

Cons:

Food was inedible, asked for a refund, they agreed...we never received the refund.

Bathroom shower head was dripping, maintenance man came out to sort it but we couldn't have a shower anyway as the room as not clean, at all.

The pool was derelict which is a shame as this would have made a massive difference and there was LOTS of building work happening which was messy and noisey but they did their best for this not to affect guests.

Views were lovely. If cheap and cheerful if your thing, then this would pass but if youre looking for a nice quiet weekend away with lovely food, avoid!

If back in the area will return to stay, when fully refurbed this could be a great hotel
Pros:

Plenty of parking, central to where we wanted to be, easy to find, great walks along the river. Staff were very accommodating.

Cons:

Still looks a bit ‘tired’ but is getting refurbed to a good standard. Breakfast could be improved, again though, early days on the refurb and not yet a full menu available. But if the menu states ‘well done bacon’ and you specifically ask for well done bacon, it’s not difficult to do - especially when there’s hardly anyone in the dining area

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and intend to return in the future.
Pros:

The receptionist, Azra, was very pleasant and helpful. The staff in dining room and kitchen were extremely considerate and helpful in accommodating my dairy allergy at breakfast time.

Cons:

The à la carte menu was not available, there was a dinner buffet menu which is not always suitable for a person with allergies.

Great stay
Pros:

The hotel had Tiled floors, marble everywhere. Hotel looks like it will be more suited to the Mediterranean than located in Scotland so felt very at easy, comfortable and relaxed. Good breakfast, great riverside view. Huge car park. They were doing up the swimming pool during our stay so looking forward to seeing the end result. Receptionist Sam was very polite, helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Hard to think of anything, really nice hotel, a pleasant stay overall.
