The food and atmosphere in the restaurant was excellent. The service from all staff was exceptional.
The view from the balcony wasnt the best as it is at the back of the hotel.
6.0 / 10.0
The staff were really lovely to us and I appreciated they went out of their way to make our anniversary special by leaving us some nice decorations and card with some chocolates. They were also lovely in the restaurant too.
I was really disappointed with our recent stay. I’ve stayed at this hotel before and previously found the rooms to be fresh, serene, and a good size, with thoughtful touches like bottled water and quality toiletries. The beds were luxurious and very comfortable, which is why I was genuinely looking forward to returning, especially as we had stayed here for our 1st anniversary.
On this occasion, we were offered an upgrade to a balcony room, which I accepted — unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. The room was located at the back of the hotel and was much smaller than expected. The balcony overlooked an untidy allotment and felt cramped rather than relaxing. The furniture was dated, with dark, scratched wood that reminded me of an old budget hotel. While the bed was large, it was extremely firm, as were the pillows, and I didn’t get a wink of sleep. The walls also seemed paper-thin, as we could hear other guests making noise at around 2am.
The bathroom was also quite dated, with a small shower and doors that were difficult to open and close.
It was particularly disappointing as this stay was for our 10th anniversary, making it a special occasion for us. Sadly, I had one of the worst nights’ sleep I can remember and left feeling very let down by the room.
That said, the location is convenient, with a bus stop nearby for access into town, and the restaurant itself is pleasant. However, there was a long wait for food, and when it did arrive, it was only lukewarm.
Overall, this stay did not live up to our previous experience, which is a real shame.

The room was spotless and the hotel is nicely situated for shops .
The parking. The room I was in was noisy from staff I think sitting outside, also there was a container outside my window full of cigarette buts not the ideal thing you want to see.
10.0 / 10.0
The staff were exceptional, no request too much and went out of their way to help and assist. They also did so with a smile on their faces and really looked as if they were enjoying their jobs.
Massive room with a very comfortable super king size bed. The room and bathroom were clean and warm.
The food was very good quality and quantity was just right, also reasonably priced.
Nothing really.
If I was to offer any constructive criticism at all-
1. The fridge in the room probably needs to be sitting on a cabinet or table as opposed to the floor.
2. There was a few cosmetic decorating issues especially around the windowsill that need completing.
All in all, these points did not distract from the stay and I'm only mentioning them for your information

We stayed for Hogmanay. The dinner in the restaurant was very good as was the service. We enjoyed breakfast the next morning, plenty of choices and hot food cooked to order. . It has parking but limited. A nice little bar area. Our room number 9 was very comfortable and quiet with a big walk in shower. The hotel is walkable to many shops and cafés and on a bus route. There is an elevator to rooms and tea/coffee in the room.
The only disappointment was no free drink for the bells. I also expected better toiletries in the room bathroom. The curtains were a little tired in our room.

The Staff and the food . Always a very good welcome and a comfortable stay.
Maybe the room was looking a bit tired or need or refurbishment. The curtains were ripped in the room (9)

Bar snacks were great, good size and enjoyable, well priced. Room okay and clean.
Bed was a little uncomfortable and had no give. We had a room at the front of the building which suffers from road noise, and also it was next to a fire door, so every time someone walked passed the room it was banging. The cooked breakfast was good, but the pastries and pancakes were shockingly bad. The pancakes could of been used as frizbies and the croissants used as door stops they were that hard.

The room had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the room and the bathroom were clean. Breakfast was simple with a good range of options available. My poached eggs were cooked to perfection. Staff were engaging and assisted is with a smile. 😊
Nothing, everything was executed perfectly.

Dinner both nights was very good. Staff were very attentive and approachable. It was a good experience.
The room door (room 17) was very difficult to use - I was informed new door handles were ordered and this will certainly make a difference. Wallpaper peeling off the walls in room 17, it would not take much to glue to wallpaper back to the wall. It would just look better.
I missed breakfast morning 1 but on the second morning it just wasn't a nice experience. Menu shared local pastries and Rowie's. It was large pancake wrapped in clingfilm no selection and didn't feel comfortable to ask. Waiter was not really interested, asked for toast - cold.
Usually a great breakfast and would recommend but poor service on this morning. We all have off days.

Food was great. Room was spotlessly clean. Location was what we expected.. a bus stop outside the front door.
Lack of secure parking. Parking was haphazard at best with no dedicated parking for hotel guests. Room was very small for two people.

Breakfast was very tasty.
The room was not very clean, sink cracked,grout coming out of floor tiles, bed was not comfortable, walls felt like paper thin as heard next door talking and their tv. Booked table for meal with friends, we sat down 20 minutes late, menu choices were unavailable.

Good location and very clean
The mattress on our bed was ridiculously uncomfortable, sagging in the middle, hard, and you could feel the springs! One of the worst beds we’ve ever slept in.
In addition the bathroom didn’t lock and the door handle on the inside of the room was broken too.

It was a good location for us as we were attending a wedding close by. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was nice and was very hot as was the breakfast in the morning
Room was very hot and there was no sign of any fans to use. Very bright lights from the plug in air freshener and the disused light socket lit the room up. No dedicated car park and on street parking is for 45 minutes only, however there is a lane adjacent to the hotel that can be used

The shower was fantastic and the overall cleanliness was great! The bed was comfortable even though I don’t like overly firm mattresses.
Personally thought the room was quite small especially with mine and my partners bags in the room too. The mattress was a bit too firm for my liking

Then location was good for our visit. The food was good. Overall the room was comfortable.
There was no toilet brush. The pedal bin in the bathroom was in poor condition. There was no towel rail. The bathroom door wasn't easy to latch. Insufficient drawers to unpack for a longer stay. no glasses in the bathroom for dentutes etc. The teacups were quite small for thirsty travellers - perhaps a mug would be better. In spite of these things our stay was pleasant.
9.0 / 10.0
The staff were amazing. Super helpful with any requests we had and went above and beyond to be of service to us.
Just a few cobwebs on the windowsill and one window didn't open so it was a little stuffy in the room at night when the weather was warm - may be handy to have a fan in rooms during the Summer perhaps. Also desk chair had a few stains on it but it's a classic old building so none of these things were a big issue for us.

Rooms were great and all had been as booked, accommodating us all close together and the bed types. With elderly person in our company the lift was a great benefit.

Well suited room that was clean, comfortable and great for a one night stay.
The food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced.
The lift is antiquated and could use an upgrade.
