this hotel has been transformed.food is of a very high quality we had a great time in the beer garden and our stay was great we were entertained by karoke and watched the live football during the day glad we got in early as you could not get seated due to the terrific atmosphere .

The hotel now has new owners (as of 1st. August 2006)and they know how things should be run. New air conditioning has been installed and bar area and foyer of the hotel have been fitted with new Black Watch (An old Scottish regiment) pattern carpets,a new kitchen is also planned in the very near future.At last things in general should improve greatly

I wish I had read the reviews on this hotel before booking, our stay was pretty much the same story. There was no-one on reception when we arrived and there was little interest in us from the staff members, who were cheeky and void of all customer service or people skills. As the bar was busy it took us a good while to get checked in, and when we did check in the the rooms were no very clean and either smelt smoke or a strong damp musty smell. Such a let down as the rest of the town and locals was lovely - Not Recommended try some of the local B&Bs instead.

I have traveled the world and stayed in many tough spots but this takes the cake. A recent golf trip to Scotland with 8 couples turned into a nightmare upon checking in at this Hotel/Inn. It is really a pub with some rooms. The smoke filtered upstairs into all of the rooms. There was no hot water in our section of the hotel. There was zero service. The floors were so warped that you would trip just walking down the hallway. Electricity was impossible. I realize Europe can be a little tough on the creature comforts. However, I will sleep at the airport rather than go near this Hotel again. At least you can get a clean shower without mold at the airport.
