good locationblack tilingbasic breakfast
The location was good. It was close to the town centre.
The bathroom tiling was black, the shower curtain was also black, therefore showering was a dark experience. the window only opened slightly at the top making the room very warm. breakfast was very basic for the price. I expected more in scotland.

The location proved convenient for exploring local attractions. My room included a really spacious bathroom. The breakfast offered a delicious start to each day with fresh ingredients. I appreciated the hotel's attention to detail.
The in-room lighting could have been a bit brighter for reading at night. I would have liked a small desk in the room.
