Schönes, altes Gebäude mit renovierten Zimmern, Parkplatz hinter dem Haus und Blick aufs Meer vom Speisesaal.
Pros:

Sehr bequemes Bett, geräumiges Zimmer mit Blick aufs Meer. Frühstück mit frisch zubereiteten Speisen.

Cons:

Man muss ein Zeitfenster für das Frühstück festlegen, was aufgrund der frisch zubereiteten Speisen (wie Eier und Toast) aber auch ok ist. Der Service war etwas hektisch, aber freundlich.

Il più bell’albergo in cui siamo stati nel nostro giro in Scozia
Pros:

Albergo in stile marinaro con vista sul mare. Staff super cordiale e camere grandi
Abbiamo mangiato nell’albergo sia a cena che a colazione e ne vale veramente la pena cibo ottimo porzioni abbondanti e ottimo prezzi

purtroppo la struttura è storica quindi accesso con scale ripide, no ascensore, camere non molto ben insonorizzate, pavimento leggermente in pendenza.

Charmigt boende med tillhörande lokal pub där ortens invånare hängde.
Pros:

Rummet var stort med fönster åt tre håll. Dubbelsängen var smal (140 cm) men bekväm.

Cons:

Lite klurigt att hitta till rummet. Vi bodde i rum 6. Det var som att gå i en labyrint. Kämpigt med bagaget i de smala trapporna. Fast detta var egentligen inget problem utan kanske mer av charmig karraktär.

Déçu par cet établissement
Pros:

Le calme

Cons:

Fenêtres impossibles à ouvrir en battant, bloquées l’une par une tringle à rideaux et l’autre par la télévision .
Et le lavabo de la sdb était fissuré.
Petit déjeuner minimaliste au niveau du buffet.
