The grounds included spaces for relaxation. The staff were friendly and welcomed dogs. I appreciated how close the hotel was to the village, so I could walk everywhere.
The shower produced only a trickle of water, made rinsing soap difficult.

mixed feelings about my stay

missing peaspre-packaged fish
I ordered fish and chips, but the peas were missing. they offered a salad as an alternative. the salad had very few rocket leaves. i don't think this is a substantial salad. also, the chips were disappointing, and the fish tasted like it was pre-packaged.

helpful stafflovely viewscottish styledated roomblack moldheating system
The staff seemed very pleasant and helpful . My room offered a lovely view, overlooking the hillside. I found the Scottish style of the hotel appealing.
The room was somewhat dated with furnishings that looked old. Black mold was visible above the bed and I worried about it. I was awoken at 2:30 AM by a loud humming noise from the heating system.
