Beautiful country pub hotel
Pros:

We stayed here because we were stuck in traffic after having already been on the road for 11 hours so didn't know a thing about it. We were so pleasantly surprised. Our 2yr old son was free, the staff were so friendly, the hotel had a gorgeously decorated homely feel, the rooms were ample, the bathrooms had modern fittings and were lovely and warm, and breakfast was included! We didn't have a thing to complain about except a slightly noisy extractor fan.

Cons:

Nothing, it was a beautiful little hotel and we would stay here again and again.

This hotel has become a little stop over treat on the long journeys we take to Scotland. Its welcoming, comfortable and has great food. We arrive as weary travelers and leave refreshed. A little haven just off the M6!
