Pros:

Location

Cons:

Annex rooms across the street. Dingy entrance, tired paintwork. More like an average Airbnb property.
Breakfast room similar to a premier Inn ( but not as spacious). Breakfast was awful. Nothing cooked to order, just congealed food lifted from trays and served cold. Inedible

Pros:

Spacious, nice room, good location, receptionist lady taking care of everything: breakfast, reception, cleaning the lobby - and yet she tried her best to make our stay great and remained very friendly.

Cons:

This is not a 5-star hotel. We booked it for the spa facilities but could not use it as someone booked treatments for that afternoon and it was therefore blocked, and you'd need to pay extra to be able to access it. Breakfast was below average compared to all the other B&Bs we stayed at in Scotland.
Cleanliness of the room was not spotless (there was a used towel left in our room and only a little bit of toilet paper left).

Lovely, but could have been more relaxing and feel all facilities should be included in price.
Pros:

The room was nice and spacious and clean.

Cons:

The room was very hot, it’s central but therefore noisy. You cannot use the spa facilities unless you book a treatment or pay £25 per person for an hour and it’s only a steam room and sauna, seems excessive and should be included in room rate.
