decent hotel

large room comfortable bed friendly staff average food fried haddock disappointing breakfast
The room was large. It had a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has an EV charger for £20 per night.
The food was average. The battered haddock seemed to have been fried twice. The Cullen Skink starter was excellent THOUGH the haddock was disappointing. I felt it was not the greatest.
