Pros:

Staff were so lovely and welcoming, as well as the locals.
Enjoyed a lovely meal there and it was in the perfect location for exploring Cullen. Also really appreciated the fan in the bedroom, as it was very warm! Breakfast was fab with plenty options! Will definitely return for another visit

Cons:

Would be really handy to have a fridge in the room as it was so hot.
Bathroom was fine, but the shower silicone was black so could do with replacing.

Very enjoyable.
Pros:

Very comfortable and dog friendly. Food was excellent and staff very friendly.

Cons:

The arrangement for breakfast when you have a dog. You have to go to the breakfast room to collect your coffee and cereal and take it all the way to the snug. This is very inconvenient.
