Boujee but braw!
Pros:

Highly personalised, boutique service and atmosphere whilst retaining a relaxed and dog friendly environment. Nicest welcome with glass of bubbly, small touches of class such as the amazing Gordon Castle shower products, Tea Pigs, morning orange juice and pan au chocolates at the door, dog treats. Sea view a bonus and impeccably clean and comfortable. Morning breakfast was a highlight and a good selection to chose from. Coffee was really tasty and granola a highlight.

Cons:

Nothing other than a little bit stuffy inside. My fault for not seeing the aircon fan behind the armchair!

The best dog friendly hotel
Pros:

This hotel is one of the best we have ever stayed in and is definitely the most dog friendly. We loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff give you individual attention and our dog was treated like a princess. The hotel is maintained very well and is very clean. The atmosphere is chilled and laid back. Our room was comfortable with amazing views. We loved watching the ferries coming and going. The breakfast menu gave lots of choice and everything was freshly prepared. Our dog was hand fed a sausage for breakfast which she loved. She also loved stopping by reception to get treats. The hotel backs on to a woodland walk and there is access to this through a back entrance.

Absolute gem of a hotel
Pros:

This hotel is a real gem of a place. 15 minute easy walk from the train station. The staff are exceptional, welcome and check in was excellent, room very comfortable, cosy and has everything you need. I had the best nights sleep each night and breakfast is restaurant standard and cooked to order, staff are very attentive and their hospitality is second to none. You will not regret choosing this hotel.

Loved our visit to No26
Pros:

Very peaceful setting. Beautiful, very comfortable,lounge. Our room was small but perfect. Rustic and charming.The views from our window were stunning, even in the rain! Bed was very comfortable. Loved our wake up fresh juice and pastries. Breakfast was beautifully presented and cooked. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would have loved No26 to have offered dinner as we are sure it would have been memorable.

Best Guest House in Scotland

Fabulous 2 night stay at this beautiful boutique bed and breakfast. Very comfortable bed large walk in shower in a beautifully decorated bedroom.

Stay was good, staff excellent.
Pros:

The location and the view

Cons:

Integrated toilet did not appeal to us as it was a lack of privacy. Wooden toilet seat unhygienic in this day and age.
