I found the staff attentive, ensuring all needs were catered for promptly. Breakfast offered high-quality options, all freshly prepared, and I particularly enjoyed the attentive service. The room décor displayed tasteful touches, complementing a comfortable ambiance. The whisky selection available at the bar was excellent, which I found most enjoyable.
The shower water pressure was a LITTLE lower than desired. I would have prefered stronger water flow.

Acceptable stay, but with some notable problems

convenient accesspoor insulationdated room
The location was acceptable. It offered convenient access to nearby attractions.
The noise insulation was poor. I could hear everything from the nearby pub late into the night. The room itself felt a little dated, and the shower pressure wasn't great, so I struggle to wash my hair properly. the lack of USB charging points near the bed become annoying because it meant I needed an adapter.
