Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
friendly staff large television reasonable price thick dust snapped ottoman glass door
The staff was friendly. They did not have much trouble helping. The room had a large television. The bar area had a nice atmosphere and the drinks price was reasonable.
The furniture got covered in thick dust. The ottoman at the bottom of the bed was snapped. Exposed nails exist. The bathroom door was all glass and wouldn't open without force.

Adequate Boutique Hotel
friendly staff perfect location good breakfast hot room missing handle uncomfortable stay
The staff was friendly, and they were really helpful. The location was perfect! The breakfast provided was also quite good.
The room was boiling hot, even with the windows open. Two fans were available, but it was still uncomfortable. The taps in the bathroom were missing their handles, not ideal.

Really good Stay
modern record player scottish toiletries powerful shower delicious crumble
The room featured a modern record player and selection of vinyl records. A comfortable bed helped me relax. The bathroom included Scottish toiletries. I found the shower powerful, offering a great experience, and I appreciated the shaving and dental kits. Dinner included locally caught salmon and a delicious mango crumble.
My salmon was a little overdone, but it was still delicious.
