Property is almost 300 years old and although mostly quaint and charming, in certain parts there is definite need for investment none more so than the property has no lifts to upper floors! For those guests with a mobility issue, like myself, rhis qas a major issue that would prevent me from returning. Also we ate in the hotel on one evening, rhe food very average and nit value for money. The breakfasts also were quite indifferent.

Staff was great, as was the service. Only negative issue was the bed. Mattress much in need of replacement. But for that would have gotten 5 rating across the board.

Warm welcome. Room was clean, but no way was it a double. No space to put personal toiletries in the bathroom - a shelf would have been handy. Would have liked a \"welcome folder\" of info, i.e. menus, meal timings, internet passwords, contacts in case of emergencies. Some of this was provided at check in but it was all by rote and too quick to take in. I wish I had asked for a low room on a low floor because those stairs were a challenge - my calves and thighs are still aching - my fault not the hotels. Breakfast was a buffet set up which is never the best. I'm so sorry if this all comes across as negative because we had a nice stay and these are just some observations which in the grand scheme of things are pretty minor. Don't let this stop you booking at this wonderfully old and quirky hotel.

Lovely old style hotel. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a bigger/better room on our arrival, which made our experience even better. Staff were really friendly and hard working. Only a couple of minor flaws stopped me rating the hotel 5 stars :-
WiFi - was good in the reception/lounge area , but was poor/non-existent in the bedrooms (or at least in the room we were in.
Breakfast - cereal, tea /coffee , fruit etc were good , but I was a little disappointed in the buffet style cooked items - black pudding was dry , haggis was a bit pale and fatty, sausages weren't great, and potato scones were bland. ( I'm usually quite the fan of a cooked breakfast) . Bacon, mushrooms, beans, eggs (scrambled/fried) were nice however

I stayed in the hotel for a business meeting the next day. I wanted to be fresh and ready, so decided to pay the £120 for a room for the night.

Unfortunately, the mattress I had made it almost impossible to get comforatble and sleep, meaning I almost spent the whole night awake.
Poor show.

Comfy room but a lot of steps.

We had a lovely stay and found the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was large and very comfortable, although it was very warm and could have done with a fan. When we checked out, I mentioned this and was informed that we could have asked for a fan from reception. There were quite a few stairs and no lift so this was challenging as I have mobility issues but a member of staff helped us with our cases,so that was a help.

Just a one night stay on our way up north .
It’s an old building so no lift but full of character . I’m the carers for my brother who is traveling with me & the hotel made sure that we had rooms next to each other .
The rooms are ok , comfortable beds , nice ensuite bathroom but obviously as it’s an older building they aren’t like a travel inn.
The breakfast was excellent & as a vegan the staff went out if their way to make sure that I had a good breakfast that I could eat . My brother thoroughly enjoyed his full Scottish breakfast.
Amy , in reception , deserves a special mention as she sorted our rooms for us & carried my heavy suitcase up to the first floor for me bless her !
Would certainly stay here again .

We arrived on Sunday evening at 19.00 looking forward to supper at the hotel. The waitress informed us the kitchen had stopped seving - that was disappointing, however, we found a busy Italian close by and had a wonderful meal.
Breakfast the next day was chaotic - luke warm buffet style and we had to wait for the bacon to be cooked

The location is excellent as a great deal of shopping and dining locations are only a short walk. Room was great except for the step down to step up to go to the toilet, somewhat hard to negotiate in the dark. The lady that took care of us at the breakfast was amazing and is a great example of how someone in the hospitality business should be, just wish I had asked her name so i could refer to that here. The buffet breakfast was also amazing, best we had in Scotland.

We checked in, dropped out bags in the room and immediately left to walk around city centre, enjoy a meal and do some sightseeing. Several enjoyable hours later, we returned to our room for a bath and a good night's sleep. We got neither. The bed and pillows were of the worst possible quality; one like concrete, the other like a case that had lost all its filling. I spent 15 minutes trying to find a comfortable position in which to lay, wadding up the dreadful pillow in hopes of adding some bulk. Decided on a hot bath, thinking it might help me sleep. No joy, ran the water for 15 minutes and could not even get tepid. Thought to check Expedia for other reviews (maybe we were in the wrong place, I hoped), no wi-fi in our room. Wandered back and forth, tripping over the carpet that had peeled back (beneath a window, likely got wet), a signal faded in and out but never held long enough to connect to anything. Repacked the few things we had unpacked, went into the hallway for a wifi signal, and made a reservation elsewhere. I travel a lot. This was among the worst experiences I've had with an otherwise well-reviewed hotel. Don't know if they over-booked and I got a room that should not have been rented, no idea, but never again.

phoned day before arrival to ask if ok to leave car in the car park as we would be arriving early and going straight out for the day, receptionist failed to mention tiny car park that would probably be full! We had to find a multi storey and pay for overnight parking and walk back. Also requested a ground floor or 1st floor room due to mobility issues - got given a room on 2nd floor with no lift. Was woken at 3am with smokers climbing out the landing window outside our bedroom window for a cheeky cig. Breakfast was only redeeming feature - exceptionally friendly staff and good range of food
