delicious breakfast vegetarian breakfast traditional features bad wifi faulty tv review issue
I adored the delicious breakfast there. My daughter enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast a lot, especially the veg haggis. The traditional features of the hotel caught my eye (the ceilings were fine!).
I wanted to give this place a better review, but there were issues. The wifi didn't work at all. The tv didn't work properly either.
