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.

overwhelmed staffexcessive 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.
