Great wee hotel. Quiet, clean and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and made for you; not on a buffet style. It was therefore hot when it arrived. Close to shops and places to eat so fab.

Service from the restaurant was brilliant the lady was great went above and beyond. I wouldn’t say vehicles are safe there at night with the boy racers. Car alarms were going off in the night. It was quite noisy in the hotel and the shower gels and hand soaps really don’t smell nice but ok and clean Big shout out to the lady in the restaurant thank you

The hotel and restuarant attached were amazing, we werent expecting much as we saw it in a retail park on the maps, but was very surprised with how clean, tidy and very friendly the staff were. The hotels ideally situated just off the M90, so makes travelling about even easier.

Stayed here a few times. This time i arrived and checked No problem the guy was really friendly Arrived at my room to drop my case off. On arriving back I found the room was cold. Went to shut the window and noticed there was no handle on the window. So it didn’t shut fully. Also the air con unit (I think that’s what it is) just above the front door was making an awful noise the majority of the night.
