Expectations exceeded.
Pros:

Good central location with plenty of free parking.
During booking and in person all staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful.
On arrival, my room was upgraded from a single to a spacious double, at no extra charge, as there was no other person requiring it.
The room was clean and well decorated with all expected consumables; it had good lighting options.
Bathroom contained electric shower over bath which had very controllable / stable temperature and variable spray head.
Very enjoyable stay.

Cons:

All good; my needs met better than at some of the more expensive locations I've used.

Overnight stay in Dunbar
Pros:

Dunmuir Hotel is a very pleasant AA recommended small hotel in Dunbar with a good restaurant for dinner and also serves an excellent full Scottish breakfast! This was ideal for my overnight stop on the way to the north of Scotland. The room had a comfortable bed and ensuite bathroom which gave a good night's rest before continuing the road journey in the morning. Dunbar is an interesting place in which I had not stayed before, and would hope to return at some point, having just time to look at the town, and the view from the old battery out to sea, after checking out, before resuming on the way north.

Cons:

No problems for me with the overnight stay as a single traveller in own vehicle.

Staff was friendly only used to room to sleep as I was working long hours in the power station.
Pros:

Room was clean and warm, shower was hot, free tea and coffee in the room

Cons:

The bed creaked every time I turned over, and was so uncomfortable. Door to the room could be up graded for security with spy hole and more than just a chain

Absolutely excellent, beautifully decorated, clean and the evening meals were very good.
Pros:

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We were upgraded room as soon as we arrived, at no extra cost. The bed was huge and very comfy.

Cons:

I would have preferred a bath rather than a shower, but otherwise I wouldn't change anything.
