While the hotel wasn't immediately in town, it was a short drive, and allowed for a quieter environment. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay again if I am in the area!

The staff are lovely here, really friendly and welcoming. My room was upgraded to have a view but I was disappointed it only had twin beds instead of the queen bed booked. The food is amazing in this hotel and reasonably priced. If you’ve never tried haggis, the bon bons are a great option. Having a lift certainly makes things easier.

What a great location and stunning view. The staff were excellent the property was clean and no complaints from any of the four rooms we had booked. the bar was very reasonably priced as were evening meals. The buffet breakfast is well worth the money booking the night before will save a little but either way excellent value. We would stay here again
