The reception area was quite pleasant and had a warm comforting touch as you entered, however it all went downhill from there. The en-suite room was of a good proportioned size and it came with 2 single beds, a TV, chest of drawers, desk and wardrobe (all which looked like they came from the 1980s, and I don’t mean stylish 1980s, I mean more like your grannies 1980s with flower patterns etc.) The bed was uncomfortable and let’s be honest, small, I was hanging out of it! The rooms do not had the advantage of double glazing so be prepared for the room to get cold, unless you have the electric fire on (do all the rooms have an electric fire like this?) the bathroom was very very cold, really outdated and it was a job to keep the water from the shower spraying all over the bathroom itself. Fresh towels were supplied and tea and coffee facilities were in the room and a very small flat screen TV. As for my sleep, well what sleep, all I could here was the couple above me having constant sex, it felt as if there was a cd player in my room playing the best of sex sounds! The walls were incredibly thin, and because of the noise and banging headboards of other rooms the floors and ceilings must have been thin too! Breakfast was included, which was a full Scottish breakfast, cereal, toast, juice, caffeine etc., so at least that was something to look forward to after a fierce night in the battlefield. Oh by the way the room gets very cold at night, and because the electric heater does warm quickly but doesn’t keep the room at a constant temperature, you will either freeze to death, or fry to death. I use trip advisor for reviews of hotels abroad, I have never had to use it for one in Scotland, but because of hotel I feel it is my duty to tell you to stay away. If the hotel was half the price, then fair enough you can put up with that sort of service but it wasn’t!
The hotel at first glance looks like it will have character and charm, and for the money you spend for a night you would expect it do, but it was rather a disappointment.
