Satisfactory accommodation in central location
central location easy self check in convenient parking mismatched room missing bedside lamps inconvenient switch
the location is really central. i appreciated the easy self check in. parking was convenient on the quiet street right outside.
i felt the room did not entirely match the description. there were no bedside lamps. the light switch was only by the entrance door, so i had to walk in the dark.

Many shops are located near. The hotel is quiet. I listen to Scottish bagpipe music in the morning from outside. There is a bar on the corner. You can take beer for takeaway.

fantastic stay!
basic self catering great location co-op
the room was fully equipped for basic self catering. i found a fridge, microwave and crockery, also cutlery in the room. the location was great, near restaurants, public houses and a co-op. i slept very well because it was quiet.
i felt the room did not have bedside lamps. there was only one light switch by the entrance door. this meant i had to walk in the dark.
