Harbourfront Retreat

local delicaciesself-service breakfastmodern design
The room included an assorted tray of local delicacies. I also found a self-service breakfast setup, I could access the kitchen and select items anytime. The shower was excellent. I noted its efficient and modern design.
A minor issue, I found that one of the windows was a bit stiff to open.

Acceptable stay in Scotland

castle trailcomfy breakfastroom cobwebsunclean trash
I liked that the trail to Dunnottar Castle is right behind the building. This made a great outing easy. Breakfast felt comfy, just like family, and I loved the greeting by the host.
Cobwebs hung from the walls of the room, and that was not great. The trash not being cleaned was also a downer. I did not like that.
