Loved the small town Scottish charm. The front desk was very helpful, booking a taxi for us and giving us a tour of the curling rink, as we are Canadian curling fans! The restaurant’s food was amazing! Definitely the most character of all the places we stayed at!

Staff extremely friendly, helpful and very hard working. Lots of lounges to sit in and a good choice of food in the restaurant reasonably priced all well decorated. Rooms are very clean but could do with a few touches like pictures on the walls and update the bathroom.
