Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted
cobwebs shabby bathroom
The breakfast was satisfactory.
I noticed cobwebs around the doorway of the suite and a general shabbiness to the small decked area. The bathroom also seemed shabby, and the cistern ran constantly after flushing, which bothered me. I found the Monday and Tuesday evening rate of £440 to be expensive considering these issues.

basic breakfast unavailable options
The location was great. It was just a short drive to the town.
The breakfast felt pretty basic and not worth the money i paid. I wanted a full scottish breakfast, but some common options were unavailable, that was disappointing.
