pleasant stay near the chapel
local touch helpful staff
The room had iron bru and tunnocks, a lovely local touch. the location was great and the room quite spacious, which i appreciated after a long day of travelling! the staff were very helpful. They provided useful information about the area.
The parking was a bit random. Cars were not parked in marked spaces, and it was difficult to find a spot. this made parking inconvenient after returning late one evening, though it was sorted out.
