For groups who are looking for a getaway with a good bar, food and pleasant staff this is excellent.
Pros:

The staff make the place. Bright, welcoming and helpful. Food is excellent and a fine selection of beers and whisky (and other wine and spirits).

Cons:

The room was basic. The carpet on the floor was very thin so much that it offers no dampening underfoot. Breakfast from 0730-0900 felt a bit restrictive. It’s a wee bit out of the way so no ease of walking into nearby villages, which we like to do.

Not our first time staying here, it never disappoints. Rooms are a good size, comfortable beds and a good shower. The bar/restaurant is great, amazing food, reasonably priced and breakfast is excellent.

A great hotel with good food and staff.
Pros:

Was a great stay. The room was fine, but the bed was a little uncomfortable- I think maybe put a think mattress protector or a new bed!
Food was great at dinner (scampi and pie) and a nice couple of drinks 👍🏼. The barmaid was lovely and she had lots to do.
Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Just bed needs attending to.

Below average and wouldn't stay here again
Pros:

The staff were friendly and the room had a great view onto fields.

Cons:

The room was very small. I couldn't have a shower as it was far less than average. The bathroom was even smaller and in my view unacceptable. The breakfast was very mediocre. Overall I would rate the stay as really not value for money. Wouldn't stay here again.
