Good wee break.
Pros:

Very central and loads of parking. Lovely decor and comfortable big bed.Staff were welcoming at reception, easy check in. Breakfast offering was very good and lovely and tasty. We would definitely recommend visit again.

Cons:

We felt someone should have been welcoming guests at breakfast as we seemed to stand for ages waiting to be checked into breakfast and shown to a table. There seemed to be staff around but no one came to assist. Also drinks were very slow in bar. Waited around 15- 20 mins for 2 cocktails .
