Pros:

Sfeervol restaurant met een prima menukaart en gevarieerde gerechten. Wordt erg goed bezocht.

Cons:

Het is een oud en gedateerd hotel. Heeft veel sfeer maar weinig comfort. Het onderhoud loopt wat achter. Maar de kamers zijn compleet, ruim en schoon.

Premiere halte en écosse inoubliable
Pros:

Très jolie auberge en bord de route dans un village,,hotel cosy ,cooconing et chaleureux, typiquement écossais.Le restaurant est beau avec 3 salles( avons mangé dans la plus petite qui est intime) et nous y mangeons très bien.Le personnel est agréable et souriant.Allez aussi boire un verre au pub avec sa jolie cheminée en pierre et ambiance accueillante, il vaut le coup d oeil.

Cons:

Juste petit bémol. Le matelas pas très confortable ( a ressort)qui reveille l un quand l autre bouge.Sinon la chambre etait spacieuse et la salle de bain so cute ,robinetterie à l ancienne que nous avons bcp aimé.

Pros:

Ci è piaciuto molto lo stile caratteristico, l’atmosfera calda e conviviale. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Camera adeguata, bagno un po’ piccolino ma pulito. Cena molto buona con ingredienti di qualità e ad un buon prezzo. Lo consigliamo.

Great atmosphere.
Pros:

Super friendly staff were the highlight of this place. The meals were a very close second, so delicious.

Cons:

The pillows were not the best. Need to replace two out of four so there is a choice.

Charmantes Gästehaus - sehr empfehlenswert
Pros:

Eher zufällig haben wir hier übernachtet und fühlten uns sofort pudelwohl. Die Herzlichkeit, das sehr gute Abendessen und frisch zubereitete Frühstück in diesem 400 Jahre alten und charmanten Gebäude war ein Highlight. Wir können es zu 100% empfehlen!
