friendly staffexcellent breakfastdelicious burgerpoor water pressure
The staff were very friendly and helpful. breakfast was excellent, offering both continental and cooked options. the beef and haggis burger was delicious. i highly recommend it. The location was great, too.
the water pressure was really poor, and the water was not hot enough for a bath or shower. it would have been a nightmare if i stayed more than one night. i hope they fix this soon.
