Good value room and pub across the courtyard - Pub can get a bit busy - but friendly staff, a good breakfast that opens at 7am which is great if you want an early start - hard to fins any faults.

Great overall but bad for breakfast
Great value and location. Our only minor quibble was on the Saturday morning they had no bacon or brown sauce as their suppliers had not delivered. There is a Coop within 1.5 miles of the hotel. We almost went over to the MacDonalds next door.

Room was fine and restaurant was good. I didn’t expect it to be on a busy street…the reviews made it seem like it was on the loch, so that was disappointing. It was very basic, but clean. It just lacked the charm that I was hoping for in Scotland…very much a chain hotel.
