excellent stay, friendly faces
kind team spacious room great view comfortable space
the staff was thoughtful and kind, smiles were everywhere i looked. our room was spacious and comfy, and the view of the river was great. the bathroom had everything i needed and everything work fine. the hotel itself is large and i saw only a few areas needing some attention.
i noticed a few neglected corners around the hotel, though it didn't really bother me.

The breakfast included a full Scottish, complete with haggis. The staff were very kind. Shona and Lena. The hotel itself is large and comfortable. (It really feels like home!)
