The outside looks like any other Scotland building but the inside is nice and worth the stay.
Pros:

The room was smaller than I thought it was going to be, but luckily it was just me so it was actually quite cozy. The room was also very clean and smelled good. I loved that they included a hairdryer in the vanity. It's in walking distance of a strip with a bunch of shops and restaurants, right next to the bus station, and just 15ish min walk away from the ocean. The owners were also really nice and breakfast was simple but delicious.

Cons:

the sink temperature nozzles were disconnected so I got either cold water or really hot water; not really ideal for washing your face.

Es war sehr schön!
Pros:

Sowohl das Abendessen im Restaurant als auch das Frühstück waren super lecker und die Besitzer waren überaus zuvorkommend und freundlich! Unser Zimmer war mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Ein rundum gemütliches und nettes Ambiente, wir würden das B&B auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

Disappointed that the stay wasn't more restful.
Pros:

Convenient location. Staff very pleasant. Dinner very enjoyable but portions too large.

Cons:

Limited choice for breakfast eg. no fruit, no milk alternative even though requested at the time of booking.
Room was overlooking main A96. Very noisy road. Couldn't sleep. Exterior and inside decor in need of attention. A bit drab and dour.

Waren rundum zufrieden.
Pros:

Das Hotel wird von einem sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereitem Ehepaar geführt, auch das andere Personal war zuvorkommend.
Das Früstück war sehr gut und reichhaltig.
Zu Abend Essen konnten wir im Hotel - in der italienischen Gaststätte im Haus , das Essen wsr dort auch sehr gut.
Wir empfehlen das Hotel gern weiter.
