Great weekend break and will definatly return in warmer weather
Pros:

My room was fantastic, placed at the furthest part of the hotel from reception and dinning facilities which was to my delight as having it ensured my motorcycle was stored safely and away from the hotel busy parking? also no noise from the many other guests was great.

Cons:

The very icy cold mornings which was not predicted and very unexpected, but we are in Scotland

Pros:

Room was warm and spacious, the bed comfortable. The location was suited for my trip. Breakfast includes a proper Scottish breakfast with black pudding and tattie scones!

Cons:

I was awoken both late at night and early in the morning by guests who were speaking quite audibly in the corridor. Some reminders placed strategically around the hotel would hopefully remind them that there are other guests other than themselves and so to be considerate.
