A great option in the heart of the Village
Pros:

We stayed for two night during midweek to visit family locally. Very clean and quiet room (we had room 10) even with a wedding on one of the nights that we stayed. The room was spacious and well appointed with an excellent bathroom and a well-stocked minibar fridge and plentiful snack (we were impressed by the range of choice). Plenty of free car parking with two onsite car chargers (which we didn't use). Staff were friendly and attentive but also discreet. We had breakfast in the restaurant on both days and also an early dinner on our first night. The food and service were very good in all respects. The

Cons:

The lighting was poor (it was very dark even during the day and with all the lights on) and could have been better equipped (only two power outlets next to the door and no USB connectors which made it a challenge for us). The minibar prices were typical of hotel prices so were weren't enticed (despite the temptation)

Fantastic hidden Gem
Pros:

Rooms were fantastic, plenty of room. Shower was excellent. Food and staff were very good.
We'd stayed in a few hotels over the last 10 days touring Scotland and this was by far the best.

Cons:

Nothing.

Cons:

No heating, no hot water, bathroom fan not working.
Raised a complaint twice nothing happened.
Unable to sleep out of the cold, unable to shower without hot water and the bathroom is smelling as the fan is not working (i have fibromyalgia).
Raised the complaint twice, no one checked on us.
Very bad anniversary experience and by far my worst staying in a hotel experience ever.

Great location, excellent staff and great food. The whole stay was good value for money
Pros:

The meal at night and the breakfast was of a very high standard and the service was excellent from every member of staff. The bathroom was excellent.

Cons:

Room is poorly laid out and difficult to navigate the tight spaces and step if you need the bathroom during the night. No socket next the bed is poor as I needed to borrow an extension lead for my medical equipment.

Optisch ansprechendes Hotel, jedoch mit weniger guter Funktionalität.
Pros:

Das Hotel war optisch äußerlich und innerlich sehr ansprechend.
Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Es gab einen Parkplatz direkt am Hotel.

Cons:

Mehrere Dinge im Zimmer haben nicht funktioniert:
Minibar hat nicht gekühlt, Fenster war defekt (nach Anfrage war der Defekt nicht behoben), Dusche ließ sich mit heiß/kalt nicht gut regulieren;
Es gab nur eine Steckdose und im Badezimmer gab es keine Steckdose.
Das kalte Buffet des Frühstücks war für ein 4 Sterne Hotel sehr spärlich.
Wir schliefen zur Straßenseite und es war durch den Straßenlärm auch nachts sehr laut.

Weekend stay for Commonwealth Games
Pros:

The hotel is very nicely furnished and comfortable, with a good restaurant and bar. The room was great, large with a good sized en suite, ironing board and iron, hairdryer, tea and coffee supplies, mini bar and good quality sheets. There was a rainfall shower with no separate shower head so if you don't want to wash your hair bring a shower cap. We ate in the restaurant one evening, the food, atmosphere and service were all good, and cocktails delicious.

Cons:

We were there over a weekend for Commonwealth Games events in Glasgow. The breakfast service at the weekend doesn't start until 8am, the same time as the first train into Glasgow on Saturday. We needed to get this train so the hotel offered a breakfast to go, which we had on the Saturday. Although we were grateful for the offer, it was not good. A limp (non breakfast) sandwich, a squashed small couple of pastry items, a piece of fruit and a bottle of water. On the Sunday we decided to stay for breakfast and get a taxi (the train service doesn't start until later on Sundays). The breakfast was fantastic. Top class. A full continental choice, fresh juices, beautiful fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurts, etc and an excellent choice of cooked breakfast. Definitely do not miss your breakfast!

Average
Pros:

Staff friendly, breakfast was good.

Cons:

Room was quirky. Black Wood furniture and fittings dour. Some of the fixtures tired. Sunken bath and shower not to our liking , difficult to get in and out of if you're not agile. Like a lot of hotels very few mains sockets in the room and USB charging ports. Toilet paper very thin and poor quality. Bed was in a wooden frame so not ideal and awkward for getting out of. Tap on bathroom sink was stiff
