Great holiday and lovely hotel
Pros:

The hotel was lovely. The food was very good. Our sea view rooms were great. The swimming pool and doft play were good. Staff were lovely. Very helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day and replenished with plenty of tea coffee biscuits and sweets.

Cons:

One of our party has limited mobility. There is only one room in the hotel which is fully accessible with a shower. All other rooms have a bath with overhead shower. So the member of our party with limited mobility had to wash at the sink every day. The front door to reception had a button to open the door automatically, but it was not working. So I would suggest that the door is repaired and that people with limited mobility make sure they book the fully accessible room.

The best views in Scotland
Pros:

I loved the views from our breakfast table, which was right at the front window, giving us uninterrupted views over the bay. It was a beautiful sunny morning which added to the view.

Cons:

Our balcony didn't offer a very good view over the bay as the vegetation in the garden was a bit dried out and overgrown.

Matig
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk personeel , goed ontbijt.

Cons:

Als je niet zeker weet dat je een kamer aan de voorzijde hebt , niet gaan. Kamers aan de achterkant grenzen aan parkeerplaats (en trailer park) met veel lawaai etc. Het is al met al meer een motel dan een hotel. Niks leuks aan.
