Staff friendly and very attentive. Room clean and view over the harbour was brilliant. Breakfast excellent. We were lucky enough to park across from the hotel. Shower a bit small and pressure not that good but did the purpose.

Great location on waterfront, staff are superb especially Lauren who was super efficient and friendly, bed was comfy and room (6) was nice and clean. Breakfast was outstanding, full Scottish was freshly cooked and really tasty. The en-suite bathroom in our room however was ridiculously tiny, so cramped that it was impossible to sit fully on toilet as legs hit against pipes under sink. You could reach from toilet to switch electric shower on as it was that close. Water pressure was so low shower operated at a trickle and you had to step out of bathroom to have enough space to dry yourself but cold tap on sink was so powerful it sprayed water all over the bathroom. Overall, staff were brilliant but the place needs an equally talented plumber!

I had booked a classic room with king sized bed, pictures looked good. Arrived to find we weren’t even staying in the hotel but a cottage offering the smallest rooms I’ve ever stayed in with a shower and toilet in a cupboard. Place needed a really good clean, double bed was two singles pushed together, one had a wonky spring. Communal area in need of a good clean too.

Excellent overnight stay, nice breakfast and dinner. Great location. Staff excellent, bar did not cater for my needs as no gluten free beer on tap or in bottles.

This two-day break was perfect. Although the rooms and bathrooms were quite small, the space was cleverly utilised. We were fortunate with the beautiful weather, which allowed us to enjoy hiking along the coastline before retuning to sunset dinners. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the room was spotlessly clean.
