a coastal haven, a tender stay

spacious room double beds warm alcove
the superior double room held an unexpected charm, it was spacious. two double beds were a comfort. the bay window alcove, complete with a sofa, desk, and chairs, added a touch of warmth.
the squeak of floorboards echoed through the hotel, it was a little loud when someone walked by.

central location high standard
The hotel location is CENTRAL. The room provided a super king bed, though a bit firm for me, it suited my husband just fine. Mattresses are a matter of preference ANYWAY. The breakfast service by Teresa was EXCELLENT. She ensured prompt delivery of my order and maintained high standards.
There was only one pillow provided. It felt somewhat hard.

Wonderful Scottish Stay!

good restaurant friendly staff warm rooms nice security
The restaurant was good. I found the staff very friendly, always ready to assist. The hotel kept its halls and rooms warm. Security was a very nice system.
The dessert service was slow. This left my daughter wanting to go home instead of waiting longer for the dessert she was so excited for.

The staff displayed kindness and helpfulness throughout my stay. They were attentive. I felt welcomed and cared for at all times. This is important to me. .!!
