Recently renovated I'd guess, couldn't fault it. I would certainly go back again. One slight complaint, but seems to be common in the UK, not enough staff on duty, specially at breakfast time. One poor girl trying to manage the breakfast room and checkout area.
The hotel was lovely, good customer service and the room was a great size and well decorated. The bed was super comfortable but we had problems with a poor shower that didn't work properly for the 2 days we were there. The location is good and a 5 minute walk into the village centee Food in the restaurant was good, but breakfast took too long even though there went many tables.

Great place to stay. Breakfast is amazing. Just a bit far from town centre
Beautiful old building with wide open staircases and entrance hall.
Our deluxe suite was warm and cosy and a nice place to be. Its set far enough back from the road that theres no noise.
We had breakfast both days (breakfast roll and full Scottish) and both both were fantastic but the New Years Eve meal was by far the winner, couldnt fault any of it.
Staff were friendly and accomodating even when I had to move our dinner reservation slightly at the last minute.
The hotel is far enough away from big towns to benefit some lovely views and drives nearby and even has a waterfall and walks right out the back, but not too far from towns that you are isolated.
The only thing I could possibly fault was the shower. The water pressure was so poor it was just a trickle that barely tinsedthe soap off you. Whilst the temperature of the water was eother stone cold freezing or out of the kettle boiling with nothing in between no matter how minir the adjustment to the dial was.
Whilst the shower was disappointing we wouldnt hesitate to stay again as overall we had a wonderful trip away.
Fabulous place to stay. Staff warm and welcoming. Great location. Beautifully decorated. Easy walking distance into town. Great breakfast. Would highly recommend.
Excellent stay! Our room was upgraded which was an added bonus! Lovely cooked breakfast! Which my partner and I feel the hotel are undercharging for! Short walk into centre. Would definitely stay here again.
Last minute booking and delighted with this place . Refurbished and opened a month ago. Two front of house staff exceptional , but run off their feet ! Food magnificent .. Dinner was delicious . Hotel clean , fresh and attractively decorated . Few more staff would have helped flow , but this is problem across the industry …
The staff were very friendly and considerate, the food and meals were really nice.
It was nice to feel like l was at home, If you need a place to rest and relax this is the place for you.
