Tolles Hotel in einem sympathischen Städtchen
Pros:

Wir haben jetzt bereits zum fünften Mal in diesem schönen Hotel übernachtet und waren wieder sehr zufrieden. Das Zimmer war geräumig, gut ausgestattet und perfekt sauber. Alle Mitarbeiter waren zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das allerbeste in diesem Hotel sind aber immer die Speisen: Eine Speisekarte mit tollen und besonderen Gerichten, die hervorragend schmecken, und ein reichhaltiges leckeres Frühstück.

10 out of 10 recommended
Pros:

The room was spotless, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, the breakfast was delicious

Cons:

Through no fault of the hotel we were unable to use it to its full potential, purely because we arrived much later than expected and had to leave early

Pleasant enough would stay again.
Pros:

Dog friendly 😊 breakfast wasn't bad, plenty of it, but there were a couple of hick ups but it was Christmas morning so probably not the usual staff. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

I should have asked for a bath so just got a room with shower. My bad. Breakfast sausage wasn't link sausage as described, mushrooms must have been cooked in fat not butter so weren't very nice.

It served our purpose, however breakfast was included in the price so aprice and we unfortunately oʻ
Pros:

The staff were very professional and friendly. The atmosphere in the bar area was very pleasant.

Cons:

The stairs to the bedrooms were very narrow and the carpet was quite soiled.
There was no car park.
The bedroom was actually too warm but opening a window made it very noisey because of people on the street.
Breakfast was included but we didn't stay because the bedroom was just too too warm and uncomfortable. I know its seems bad to complain about a warm room and I apologise for that, as it is a credit to you to keep the hotel warm in such challenging times.

Great value for money. Not many frills but the lovely breakfast room and great breakfast were a bonu
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent and great value for money. The staff we friendly and efficient. The breakfast room has a lovely view over the river and surrounding countryside.

Cons:

The decor is a bit tired but I wasn't expecting more as money will be tight in that part of the world for splashing the cash on soft furnishings. The bed was a bit firm for my liking.

Stylisches Hotel mit schottischem Flair und tollem Personal
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr nett und herzlich empfangen und bekamen ein Upgrade. Dadurch hatten wir ein schickes großes Zimmer mit Duschbad und einer Extrabadewanne. Sehr stylish! Erstklassig waren auch das Abendessen im modern gestalteten Pub und das Frühstück im kleinen Restaurant. Es gibt viele schottische Spezialitäten. Das freundliche Hotel ist perfekt für eine Zwischenübernachtung auf dem Weg von England nach Irland.

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt zentral an einer Kreuzung des kleinen Städtchens. Man hat einen schönen Ausblick auf die Straße und auch nach hinten heraus über den Fluss und die umliegenden Hügel. Durch die Lage des Hotels hört man bei geöffnetem Fenster den Straßenverkehr natürlich recht laut, und auch der Fluss ist laut zu hören. Bei geschlossenem Fenster ist es aber ausreichend leise, die Fenster sind doppelt verglast.

Pros:

The staff were amazing. We checked in as a large group of 20 and they couldn’t do enough for us. Check in was smooth, rooms clean and comfy. Breakfast and dinner were 10/10. Great stay over the New Year!
