Pros:

The kettle and the comfortable bed.

Cons:

The floor in the Bathroom wasn’t clean.
Overall looks a little rundown. It’s a very tiny room, but ok for a short stay.

Pros:

Prima hotel voor een overnachting als je op doorreis bent. Goed eten in het restaurant en het ontbijtbuffet heeft alle Schotse ingrediënten! Heerlijk onbeperkt graaien dus 🤓.
Het is er wel toeristisch, dus het kan er druk zijn. Ligt vlakbij de haven waar je lekker doorheen kan slenteren na het eten.

Cons:

Niets..
