friendly staff convenient location
the staff welcomed me warmly upon arrival. My room was both spacious and comfortable and the location was very convenient for exploring nearby attractions. i had a wonderful and relaxing stay.
The room was cold upon my arrival. I had to wait quite a while for the water to get hot enough for a shower, it was not ideal for the price i paid.

The rooms are very spacious. It has efficient housekeeping. Food at the restaurant tasted fine. Staffs are so friendly and helpful!
The bed are super soft I felt seasick. The WIFI was very poor, pretty much non existent in the room. The tea tray was not topped up so I had to go ask for milk and tea bags!

overwhelmed staff excessive fees
I anticipated more, I must admit. The restaurant staff seemed overwhelmed. Service was slow. The food, sadly, was just okay. Nothing special there. The advertised EV charger imposed very high prices. Had i not intervened, they would have levied excessive fees. This made it Scotland's priciest charging point.
