Wonderful Scottish Getaway
delicious breakfast friendly staff outdoor seating
This was an lovely visit. The Scottish breakfast was delicious and fueled my day. The staff was friendly and accommodating (always ready with a smile!). I thoroughly enjoyed spending time near the outdoor seating area in the sunshine.
The reception area seemed unattended at times. It would be good to have someone there more consistently.
