Good quality, characterful stopover in a pretty town. I imagine it is busier and more fully staffed in high season, but it was fine in mid-March. Comfortable room, decent evening meal, excellent breakfast.

Great location in the centre of town. Well placed for golfers and highland visits. It is a lovely old building which shows its age. In some respects. Staff were fantastic. Comfortable bar and nice restaurant . Food was very good and exceptional value. Breakfast was superb in terms of quality, quantity and service. Dinner menu is limited in choice but food is excellent.
