Schöner Ort
Pros:

-Die Einzelbetten waren extrem weich, weswegen wir das Zimmer wechseln durften. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend!
-Super Ausgangslage um Callander zu erkunden.
-Restaurant im Hotel

Cons:

Das Hitel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt trotzdem.
