What a great place to stay fantastic service fantastic host, the breakfast was to die for I was walking from John o Groats to lands end. So this hotel was an exactly the right place at the right time thank you.

Ideal for a welcome and comfort
Pros:

It has a touch of Victorian faded glamour. It’s well kept, clean and warm to the eye.
The staff were first class, attentive and courteous and very helpful. Could not have asked for more.
Our room was clean, well supplied with fresh towels and was comfortable.
It offers the best breakfast of our week in Scotland.
