The check-in staff was helpful. They took my luggage and offered extra tea and biscuits. The room was clean and well equipped. It had a patio with a table and chairs (perfect for enjoying the weather!). The breakfast included cereals, fruit, yoghurt, and cooked items. Staff offered porridge and were helpful.
The room had opaque film on windows, so I could not see outside.

Romantic Stay Before Our Journey
traditional area well-equipped room english breakfast great location
The wedding ceremony area looked very traditional. I found the room well-equipped with a nice bathroom. The breakfast buffet offered a full English breakfast. The choices were satisfactory. The hotel's location was great (a short walk from the train station!).
Rooms

The room featured lovely decor and felt spotlessly clean. It included a comfy bed, though it was two singles pushed together. This setup was adequate for a short stay.

Dinner in the restaurant was a highlight. The food was fantastic, especially the evening meal. The full scottish breakfast was great. My husband felt it was the best he had eaten for ages (especially the haggis).

dated decor poor sound insulation
i found the room to be a little tired. the carpets had some noticeable stains, and the decor felt dated. also, the noise from what i think was a nearby event space carried on quite late. it was difficult to fall asleep, the sound insulation was really poor.
