Pros:

Staff were super friendly and welcoming, room clean and had everything we needed

Cons:

Room was oriented to the front of the property onto a main road which had traffic noise, so we had to keep windows closed.

Pros:

The hotel was in a good location for visiting sites associated with Rabbie Burns. Woody's Ice Cream Parlour directly across the street did some lovely ice cream varieties.

Cons:

The room was noisy from passing traffic and bathroom fan noise from other rooms but earplugs were provided which helped a little
