Comfortable stay, lovely staff and clean room
Pros:

Central location, rooms clean. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast good. Maybe a cocktail menu in the bar ?

Cons:

A bar area, we sat in bar/dining area after dinner hours. Was ok but if just wanted a drink during service, a seating area?

Prima.
Pros:

Echt Schotse aankleding, goede bedden. Heerlijk gegeten.

Cons:

Kamer was aan de kleine kant, badkamer oud, matige douche. Ondanks dat er Kamera vrij waren die net waren opgeknapt, gaven ze ons een kamer die nog niet was opgeknapt. We hadden aangegeven dat we hier onze trouwdag wilden vieren, maar daar werd geen enkele aandacht aan besteed. Jammer.

Comfortable hotel but needs to improve the food
Pros:

Great old hotel with comfy rooms. Mattress was very soft for my liking
Parking and access excellent

Cons:

Food was mediocre. I had fish and chips and am pretty sure fish was cooked from frozen.
After filling in sheet the previous evening the bacon was ready tough like it had been in the oven for an hour. The breakfast ingredients were not top class although my fried egg was perfect
