nice hotel off the beaten path
Pros: huge bathroom (rare in Scotland lol), comfortable bed, in a small town off the beaten path. friendly staff Cons: walls a little thin, but restaurant closes and all staff leave by 11 so the place gets quiet.

Lovely hotel with wonderful food
I really enjoyed my stay at this excellent hotel. Food was fantastic, especially the shed burger. The breakfast was also of a very high standard. My only slight criticism was the size of the room was a little smaller than I expected and the pillows weren’t very Comfortable but everything else was great
