Gerne wieder
Pros:

Frühstück wurde jeden Morgen je nach Wunsch frisch zubereitet. Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Haben noch 2 Tage verlängert, weil die Lage sehr gut war. Man konnte von dort auch direkt loslaufen.

Cons:

Das Bett war mir zu hart.

The room was a good size and the facilities clean and pleasant. We had a separate small room off the main restaurant as I had a dog with me. The food and service was excellent

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Nice big grounds very peaceful so many ducks in there might be a clever idea to start selling duck feed for people to feed them

Pros:

It was clean and perfectly placed for what we needed, the price was probably just a little steep for what it actually was.

Cons:

The WiFi reception was horrendous and none existent, the cooked breakfast was very poor , why when staying in Scotland would i want a full English breakfast, I feel this is cause it's the cheapest for the hotel, very disappointed in the breakfast, I wanted my full scottish breakfast.

Bien dans l'emsemble pour le prix
Pros:

Salle de bain refaite à neuf, très agréable pour un hôtel vieillissant. Emplacement impeccable proche des commodités. Logement propre

Cons:

Odeur de renfermé dans la chambre. Isolation des fenêtres à revoir (système ancien). Wifi non fonctionnel lors de notre séjour. Place de parking sur place mais vite prise donc difficile de trouver une place tardivement.
