The staff accommodated my luggage upon my early arrival and suggested a taxi service for distillery visits. I found the breakfast selection very good. The whisky selection was fantastic. The room was very well decorated with attention to detail.
The room I stayed in felt a bit small for my liking. It could benefit from a more efficient furniture arrangement.
