We spent two nights bed and breakfast here recently during a week long tour of part of Scotland. This hotel is well situated at one end of the main road running through the town but being in its own grounds it was very quiet and peaceful.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We paid extra for a superior room which was very large indeed with a very comfortable bed (and the pillows were fine too!) and with a huge bathroom. Everywhere was very clean. It would have been nice to have had a couple of single chairs in the room to put clothes etc on (and there certainly was the room for them!)
I agree that the atmosphere is perhaps more suited to the more 'mature' guest but that suited us as we wanted somewhere quiet after busy days touring around. There is a small bar in the lounge and they do evening meals if wanted. We did not eat here but the menu looked very nice.
Breakfast was not buffet, everything was waiter served which made a nice change. The food was delicious and set us up for the day.
One thing I would perhaps recommend is that when you are doing your next refurbishment a new bathroom suite for that room would be a good idea, I have not seen that colour mushroom for many a long year!
A very pleasant stay and would happily return.
