"Food was excellent and they had live Scottish music on in the evening"
"Breakfast was the best-which is usually not something an extremely fussy vegetarian would say."

I particularly appreciate the live music and family-friendly atmosphere, as well as its surprisingly serene environment at night. With great food and easy access to the station, it's a solid choice for those looking to immerse themselves in local hospitality.”

tasty breakfastgreat staffunwelcoming receptionist
The breakfast was plentiful and tasty with a huge choice. Staff were fantastic in all areas. The bar choices were very good and reasonably priced (I enjoyed a glass of wine).
The receptionist wasn't very cute upon arrival. I had tried to book dinner earlier in the year, but it was not possible.

excellent stay!
free carparkbreakfast optionsterse receptionist
The hotel had a large free car park. This was so useful. the breakfast was lovely with plenty of options, also cooked to order. i ate in the restaurant and the food was very nice. The restaurant does get busy though!
i arrived early and found the receptionist a bit terse. the hotel does not have a left-luggage facility, surprising. i had to carry my bags around.
