A good and reasonably priced hotel close to the main street (Union Street).
Pros:

Proximity of the centre, good value for money.

Cons:

It would have been great if there had been a restaurant on the premises. We were pretty tired in the evening day after a full day outdoors, would have been glad to have dinner without having to go out any more.

Good location, nice n clean and pleasant staff.
Pros:

The location is very handy, I have stayed here quite a few times now.

Cons:

The car park situation is not the best now. It was better when you could book a space at reception. The new method is far from ideal.

Wouldn’t return, but to be fair, probably okay for the price paid.
Pros:

Centrally situated

Cons:

Had requested twin room, ( my husband is tall), not available, small double bed, Staff did offer to make up bed settee, but that would have left very little room in room. Breakfast was like my memories of school dinners.
