great locationclean roomsoap products
The hotel has a fantastic location, only a short walk to the town center. The room was clean. I found nice Highland Soap Co products in the bathroom (a very thoughtful touch!).
This was not a problem for me, but it may be difficult for some guests.

The breakfast service could improve. I felt items were hard and cold for the price. Scrambled eggs and toast were alright, but it seemed like the food was prepared much earlier in the day.
