We enjoyed our stay, and the rooms are very nice and located in the Inn with a bar below it which is convenient for refreshing drinks after the journey. Would highly recommend staying at the Factors Inn.

Decent room for a decent price

Our room was a tad dated but very comfortable. We had dinner in the pub which we felt had a very limited menu and pricey for the quality of food

Beautiful setting. The castle was stunning but way beyond our budget so Factors was a great option. Therooms are huge. No bathrrom fan or refrigerator but otherwise great.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in at separate location was awkward and confusing. Staff rushed us out the door. Their only suggestion for dinner was the pub below our rooms. The pub was dead and had a strange smell. We found our own spot for dinner. The rooms while large are above the pub. We couldn’t sleep until those noise stopped around 11:30. The road near beside the location is also busy and load.

Rooms were very nice and comfortable. Check in at the castle was easy and quick. However, the real highlight of The Factors is to have dinner downstairs. One of the best meals we had in our entire time in Scotland. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great Room, Confusing Check in

The check in is SO confusing. We checked in at the castle up the road. They stated we were in the cottage so we went to the cottage which did not have our room number. We went back to the castle and they finally told us to go to the pub and the room was above it. Great room, 2 bathrooms!
