"This is a pleasant little Hotel, although at first we had trouble finding the car park (its up the side and round the back. And we had abit of trouble finding the entrance. We thought with the Carpark being where it was at the back of the house, there might be an entrance to the hotel there also. There wasn't! After trying every back door in the heavy rain carrying suitcases we had to walk down the hill and around to the front of the house to find 2 doorways. Check in was swift and easy. Our room was lovely and warm and modern. The shower room looked as if it was recently refurbished. Towels were tired looking and thin, the bed was comfy enuf, but the pillows were flat and not up to much. Kettle tea bags etc an biscuits were good. The walls are very thin, we could hear ppl chatting in the next room. We stayed for dinner, it was nice but not worth £18 for fish chips, very over priced for pub grub quality! The service was good tho and quite speedy. The breakfast was included for our 1 night stay, I had a full Scottish breakfast, it was such a letdown as it wasn't freshly cooked, everything was reheated (microwaved) dry, the bacon was like cardboard, mushroom so dry they had shrivelled up and were like rubber. The potato scone was dry and stiff as a board, I couldn't cut it with a knife, nor the bacon. And talking about knives, the strangest shaped handles that were already awkward to use let alone trying to cut a stoating breakfast. The haggis black pudding was just a greasy flop on the plate. The poached egg was edable as it was cooked fresh. The orange juice was dilute juice. There was fresh fruit salad that was nice an Croissants too. For a visitor experiencing their first Scottish breakfast it was a real let down. All in all it was a cosy clean hotel, but not the cheapest for what we got, and I'd defo avoid the fry up ooft.. Also worth mentioning the front door of the hotel stays unlocked all night unstaffed, it felt abit unsafe as anyone can walk in from the street, even if there is a small camera, who's sitting up watching that all night? No one!.. So cosy room, but overpriced food horrible SCOTTISH breakfast fry up (with no toast) let this place down and spoiled my experience. I didn't complain as I couldn't do with the drama first thing in the morning. But I won't be returning."
