The room was terrible. It felt dirty and very dated. The TV didn't work, and the bathroom was dirty. The sheets, though they smelled clean, had yellow marks.

Great Scottish Hospitality

The staff greeted me so warmly. Breakfast included tasty Scottish options prepared fresh. I found the location provided easy access to the town.

I noticed that the linens had some visible dirt and hair after laundering. I recommend double-checking the cleaning process for the linens. This is the only minor downside I observed.
