rude bar woman

The bar service was not good. The woman at the bar seemed rude. She decided to close earlier than advertised on the website. That annoyed me a lot.

Solid stay near Glasgow

delicious dinner lovely surrounding friendly welcome

the dinner at the restaurant was very good. i particularly enjoyed the location close to villages.. lovely surroundings are a definite plus. i also appreciated the friendly welcome upon arrival. i felt at ease immediately.

i found the noise from the bar quite noticeable in my room late into the evening. perhaps better soundproofing could improve the experience. it disrupted my sleep a little.
