A TRUE gem in a charming setting

class shower scottish breakfast parking spaces comfortable seating
I found the wetroom walk in shower in the bathroom first class. The full Scottish breakfast i enjoyed very much, especially the haggis and tattie scone. There were ample parking spaces available on the hotel (very convenient ). The outdoor area featured a large screen, comfortable seating, shelters, and heaters.
I did notice that the tv screens in the eating area gave off more of a sports bar vibe.

Average stay, some issues noted

single beds many tv screens
The food was great in beautiful surroundings.
The bed was two single beds pushed together. This did not allow for a comfortable night's sleep for two adults. There were many TV screens in the eating areas and this, not a 4-star hotel.
