Best place to stop on the way up to Scotland.
Pros:

A perfect place to stop on the way up to Scotland, staff were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect. They are dog friendly which is a bonus, food was home cooked and delicious, the room was warm, clean and comfortable, highly recommended.

Cons:

No space in the hotel parking lot, but there was space out the front.

Would love to stay there again. Don't hesitate staying with them.
Pros:

Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly. Food was great. Dinner was like the home cooked meal you craved when away and breakfast was one of the best we've ever had when travelling. The bath tub in our unsuited was huge , again just what you want when travelling. Long hot soaks were had.

Cons:

The shower tiles had some mould in the grout but nothing some mould killer spray wouldn't fix. Didn't stop you using the shower or tub, just something that I noticed.
The dinner menu was a little limited with a few things not available BUT what we did have was fantastic.

The ornament on the reception desk that mentions guests leaving as friends seems accurate.
Pros:

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the village. There's car parking, and a new deck area which is ideal to sit and chill in the mornings and evenings. The breakfast is excellent, with a good choice of cereals, teas, or coffee, and a choice of cooked full breakfasts. We enjoyed both the full English and the full Scottish options as well as select menu items on our last morning. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, and our room was very comfortable, with probably the largest bed my wife and I have ever seen.

Cons:

The hotel is currently in the midst of a refurb, so not everything is in its final state. However none of this detracted from our experience.

Food good, accommodation needed more effort
Pros:

The breakfast was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The en suite had clearly not been cleaned or used for a long while. There were cobwebs all over the bathroom, not just in the ceiling corners but in fact a whole mezzanine floor in the shower cubicle for the rather large spider in residence there. Also across the toilet and attached to the loo roll holder. A shame because I was in desperate need of a shower but was too exhausted to negotiate terms with the larger of the three spiders and then clean the shower myself.
