Very enjoyable, I even managed a bit of shopping in the Sunday before heading back to Loch Eske castle for day 2 of wedd
Pros:

The staff & room were fantastic, thank you.

Cons:

The only problem we had (no fault of the property I must add) was the very loud noise ftom street. This went on until almost 4am, not much sleep as we were at the front & only 2 floors up.

A pleasant hotel
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and the hotel is right in the middle of the town. Very clean.

Cons:

With the hotel in the middle of the town, surrounded by pubs ..it was very noisy at night. My room was on the front of the hotel so request a back room if you want more peace.
The breakfast was also very average we found.
