Easy to sign in if no one there. First class service, especially in our circumstances for a family bereavement. No fuss. Excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed. Would recommend whether holiday, business, or pleasure.

I thought the breakfast options were the most flexible that i experienced when it comes to traditional Scottish fair.
Also, since we were there during beautiful weather, the varieties of birds out our window was an exceptional and unexpected feature

Quite a noisy room with noise from other guests rooms and the road (seemed to be a main road into town).
No reception on site but easy instructions received by phone on arrival.
No communal seating area inside or out ( shame given the large, sunny backyard.
Amazing water pressure in the shower.

Can't comment on check-in staff as there wasn't any, need to call a number to check yourself in.
Bathroom was clean and modern, the room however needs a major refresh and upgrade. Carpet was very dusty and we had lingering pet/dust allergy symptoms.
Breakfast chef was very nice and welcoming and made your breakfast to order.

The property looks amazing from the outside. There was a telephone check in
Im not a fan of that. I had a down stairs room right beside the entrance door. You can hear everyone talking in the hall plus enter and leaving. It was old fashioned inside but very comfortable.
