Pros:

Cosy and relaxing place. The scotish room interior with bed, curtains and view from our room.Clean toilet and bath with the big white fluffy towels. I wanted to buy the liquid shower soaps they provided but the receptionist did'nt know they were for sale.The big bed was so good to sleep. There's a fridge in the room. We wish we had more days to explore the area outside.

Cons:

My dinner. Although the fish fillet was fantastic good and tasty, the fixings and sidings were too salty. It started with butter squash soup of the day which was also very good but quite salty. My lips felt like inflammed for a day. Or else, we also had a wonderful sumptous full scotish breakfast with black pudding, haggis and more included in our room booking.

Above expectation
Pros:

From arrival, the staff made us very welcome, and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The rooms were wonderful, well appointed and with all facilities one would wish for. There was a welcoming, helpful and happy atmosphere throughout our time there, with a delicious birthday suprise served at the wonderful breakfast.
The hotel, including the 700 year old parts of the building, are well maintained and sympathetically extended to provide very comfortable accommodation, and the river-side location is beautiful.
Will definately return :-)

Cons:

Having to leave!
