The restaurant service was first class. i stayed here recently and the experience was perfect! the staff is well-trained and eager to provide excellent service. the food is delicious. Especially the scottish seafood options.
the room felt a bit cold. i couldn't fully enjoy the living area as it was too chilly to sit comfortably, and i think that's something worth addressing.
