Perfekt stay with attention to detail like having all fires lit for ambience and good kitchen!
Pros:

Perfect place in a historic beautiful building. I loved that scottish people were in the reception and restaurant. It‘s above average this place, and that is rare in these times. Food is fantastic and they actually care of your wellbeing, they do all what a gastronomy should do, and they execute it perfectly. Just a good vibe, good food, good people.

Cons:

Breakfast could be simpler (less is more) and reflect the evening restaurant quality. Breakfast was the only thing not matching the rest of high standarts. What cam be done? Simple: 1 full irish, 1 kippers, 1 special porridge and finished. And that served with local ingredients. Also serve real local joghurts. Jams, butter. Gives more charakter and would suit your hotel perfectly
