Our room was superb but cannot say the same about most of the rest of the building,tatty wallpaper in the hall and stairs,dark and I am sorry to say not very... More

This hotel was listed in the Famous Grouse Famous 100 pubs and the website looked promising, so I called the night before to book the 4-poster room and pay in advance. Unfortunately, the price charged was more than advertised... More

The bedroom had that air of 1970's fix-me-up with mismatched furniture, whitewashed ceiling and period contrasting pastel shade a bathroom en suite shoehorned into the original design of the room. Decor changes such as electrical power point additions had been carried out... More
