After reading reviews on trip advisor, i must admit I was pretty reluctant to book this Bnb! However on arrival we were pleasantly surprised! We had an en-suite double room on the ground floor, which was spacious and modernly decorated in cream/neutral tones. The room has a nice faux leather bed and a flat screen TV. Bathroom had been newly... More

Having booked in weeks earlier, it took only a few minutes to book out. I would rather have slept in my car. The bedroom was depressingly dark, none too clean and smelt of dogs. There was no shower mat or WiFi facilities, the one member of staff to whom I spoke was unhelpful. Tea and coffee-making facilities were minimal. My... More

This hotel, if that's an accurate description was more like a bad youth hostel, the room looked clean on the surface in much the same way a child cleans their bedroom, everything electrical was powered using bright orange extension cables from one socket. This hotel was notified weeks before arrival that we secure (off road) motorcycle parking which was agreed... More

Entry hall and Lounge very damp smelling. Rooms were old fashioned but comfortable enough. Breakfast was good but our party was disappointed with the accommodation. Was in a very nice area beside the river and near to the centre of the Town. More

I stayed here with friends whilst on a tour of Scotland as the prices looked reasonable. However this is without doubt the worst place I have ever stayed in. It was more like a very poor youth hostel than a B & B with old tired beds and furniture, no private parking. Upon arrival the staff were unhelpful and there... More

The entrance hall was nice but took one look beyond that and just could not stay, a lot of the rooms appeared to surround a single public room. It just reeked of an unloved and unclean B&B which just didn't care as long as they got your money. The shower in our allocated room didn't work, they offered to let... More
