Not salubrious
Pros:

Close to castles and locks

Cons:

Lovely pictures, pretty they’re not accurate you don’t get two pillows the towels aren’t laid nice and neatly on the bed. You only get two towels and one hand towel. What’s that about? mould all over the shower.

Did the job
Pros:

Location. Communication from staff was good, a group of us were going to a wedding nearby and arriving early so they tried to accommodate an early arrival.

Cons:

Rooms were too hot, walls thin so could hear everything outside the room. Beer garden playing music early on a Sunday morning was far from ideal after a wedding!

Would definitely recommend and return. Friendly staff, lovely room, good food.
Pros:

Good restaurant/ bar and beer garden. Food was good, but lots was unavailable on this occasion.
Our room was great. A family suite, so basically 2 connected rooms with shared bathroom. Ideal for our family group.

Cons:

A slightly laughable breakfast scenario, where our token child (17yo) was told she could only have the kids breakfast and nothing else, even though other items, including what she actually wanted, were the same price. Wasn’t a problem as a kids breakfast is more than enough for me lol!

Für einen Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg in die Highlands zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Zentrale Lage direkt an der Main Street. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt um die Ecke. Supermarkt nebenan. Schöne Hotelbar-/restaurant im Erdgeschoss.

Cons:

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Dennoch alles sauber und zweckmäßig.

Good stay, great staff, some improvements needed
Pros:

Great staff, comfortable bed, easy to check in.
