What reviewers say

The rooms and bathroom are very nice. The staff was helpful and good to chat to. Food served in the restaurant was top notch. Parking is £6/night.

A bit run down, but clean, has friendly staff, and a good restaurant. I would stay here again.

Great place and great staff. Showing a bit of age and need of upkeep if I'm honest but it is a great little spa in town and we loved the heated pool.

Room is tremendously hot with a broken ac unit. Bed has dog fur on it. Unfortunately I'm here another night at the time of this review.

Stayed here for one night on our trip around Scotland (wish now we had stayed here longer) and I can't emphasise enough how great the staff were, by far the nicest, friendliest and most helpful of our entire trip and possibly of any hotel we've ever stayed in. The building is lovely and the room was perfect, nice big bed and the cot and pull out bed were already set up when we got there. The room was very spacious which was great for two little kids to run/crawl around in. There's also a pool but unfortunately we didn't have time for it. Breakfast was delicious and again the staff were amazing, entertaining two little ones while expertly doing your job is not easy. Our eldest was also delighted with his little activity book he got, thank you. The location is great, you're mot right in the city centre but also not too far away and also close enough to the edge of the city that getting there was so easy. It's the perfect base to explore all the attractions nearby and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. We will definitely be back.
