Ci siamo sentiti coccolati
Pros:

L’accoglienza è stata ottima e professionale.
La stanza assegnata era completamente rinnovata così come il bagno e molto spaziosa.
Molto abbondante e curata la colazione sia continentale che tradizionale scozzese.
Ci siamo fermati anche a cena entrambe le sere e abbiamo trovato una cucina di ottimo livello.
La struttura dispone anche di un parcheggio molto comodo.

Pros:

A lovely family run hotel, very friendly owners and staff. Also had a great meal in the hotel restaurant. I stayed in a single room which was ideal for me, the bed was very comfy. The overall price was really good value and included a tasty breakfast.

I will gladly return when back in the region.

This was the best bed and Breakfast we have ever been in. Just Fanastic and I would recommend it.
Pros:

This was a beautiful and clean place to stay. The room was fantastic beautifully decorated.
The Shower room was amazing.
The owners made you feel more than welcome they were lovely.
The breakfast was great but the Italian meal we had was excellent.

Cons:

The only thing that I was worried about was the stairs but I took my time going up and down. They do advertise that it may not be suitable for anyone with walking disabilities. I just took my time. Again it was beautiful.

Zweckmäßige Unterkunft mit dem Charme vergangener Zeiten
Pros:

Service und Frühstück waren gut. Betten waren bequem.

Cons:

Teppichboden im Bad. Man mag sich gar nicht vorstellen, wie oft die Toilennenbürste auf dem Weg zwischen Kloschüssel und Halter das eine oder andere Tröpfchen verloren hat. Das ganze Haus ist ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Eine vollständige Verdunklung des Zimmers war nicht möglich. Relativ laut, da an der Straße gelegen. Man sollte keine allzu hohen Erwartungen haben.
