6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was not nearly as nice as the pictures looked online when we were booking. The walls were scuffed and scratched and there wasn’t really anything on the walls besides maybe one picture. The beds were comfortable and clean though and we were given a Scottish breakfast in the morning. We paid over $230 for the night and felt it was definitely overpriced.

We stayed in the building away from the main building, on the top floor. Our room was good apart from the bathroom ceiling was full of mold! There was a sign outside saying they are in the middle of updates to the bathrooms. Once those updates happen this will be a great spot to stay. If you have allergies to mold you might want to look at another spot. Really the only fault with this hotel was the black mold on the ceiling. The restaurant and bar are nice, food was good. Manager seemed really friendly!

There was good parking and the structure of the building was sound. It could’ve been cute but needed severe updated (simply painting the walls.?) It would’ve been nice to know before booking there was no lift and the reception was in a separate building. The bed was comfortable. There was mold in the bathroom.

Convenient location. Our room was clean and comfortable and on the ground floor which was appreciated. Parking onsite. The hotel had great food for dinner, we didn’t try the breakfast. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. There was no fridge in the room which would have been nice as we were travelling and had food with us.

This was for me, a typical pub with rooms in an adjoins building. Access to the bedroom block was secure which was comforting and the room while much the same as similar properties was adequate. We chose continental breakfast for both mornings which was fine. The two one course evening meals were satisfying and the staff pleasant.
