Pros:

The hotel has improved since its new owners have taken over. The offer of cooked breakfast was a huge improvement from last years continental breakfast.
The food has improved and a new Bistro menu was well received. The staff are incredibly hard working and very engaging. The overall ambience is relaxed and friendly and im sure there will be more improvements for guest to enjoy as the new owners settle in.

Cons:

Nothing I didnt like as this is a growing business with huge potential for the future

Such a lovely welcoming place. We will be back again.
Pros:

A characterful hotel that has been mainly refurbished while keeping the charm and comfort of a traditional Scottish hotel. The staff were very pleasant and made everyone feel special. Food was also excellent as was our room with a 4 poster bed.

Cons:

Nothing but a few corridor carpets were rather tired but presumably about to be replaced.
