"Would definitely stay here again despite the hotel being in need of a lot of money spending on it. Very large room. Good walk in shower (needs a safety handle/ rail for walking in and out), terribly tiny sink with nowhere to put toiletries (small glass shelf above like leaning tower of Pisa, needs a spirit level). No fridge. One chair near small tv. Great view and privacy. We were attending a crime book festival nearby hotel. The atmosphere, decor, gloriously old feeling, and the size of the Cairn hotel with its wandering corridors and large ballrooms/ dining rooms put us right there in the right mood.
Breakfast was a 5* offering with the best service we've had for a long time. Hot drinks and toast brought to the table was wonderful. Staff totally wonderful throughout our stay, except the 2 men behind reception,when I came back for our luggage, who watched me struggle to get 3 cases from luggage room and out through the foyer with no assistance offered. (A guest took one from me and took out to waiting taxi for me! I could manage the other 2, I am 73 and my 85 year old husband was in the taxi). A very enjoyable stay. Real ale in bar good. We saw people having afternoon tea and it looked far better than Betty's. Scones enormous and delicious (they were on offer at breakfast)."
