Comfortable offering good service!
Pros:

I was in an upgraded room which was spacious and comfortable. The quality of the food was high, especially the cooked breakfast which unlike some other hotels was kept hot.

Cons:

There are still some parts of the hotel in need of refurbishing.

Overall a very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

It was a convenient stopping point between visiting friends either side of Scotland. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent.

Cons:

We were unable to order a cocktail at the upstairs bar and couldn't use the 1808 bar, where they sold cocktails, due to a private function.
There was no towel rail in the bathroom to hang wet towels and it would have been nice to have had supplied a disposable shower cap.
The mattress on the bed was a bit tired, you could feel the springs.
