i adored the location it overlooked the river tay and allowed easy access to nearby shops. the kitchen impressed me with a high-quality range of breakfast foods. i found fresh bread smoked salmon and fruit juices provided a good start to each day. the nespresso machine in my room offered a perfect early treat.
