Reviews and Ratings
I booked a stay at this hotel during the Scottish Surfing Federation Competitions, and overall, it was a decent experience. The rooms were a bit tired and cold even after dinner, but they had comfortable beds and Freeview. The staff were very helpful, especially when they moved us to a better room after assigning us a poor one initially. The location was central, but there were parking restrictions to consider. The dining options had some hits and misses, with a tasty and plentiful breakfast but below-par porridge. The facilities were adequate with nothing extraordinary.
