full scottish optionbroken catchsmall shower room

The breakfast was great with cereal, fruit and a full Scottish option.

I got a small portacabin type room in the courtyard. A window catch was broken. The heating did not work. I felt rather cold. The shower room and toilet were also very small.

The staff were very professional. Even the young new ones did a good job.

I was really disappointed in my room. the toilet seat didn't fit properly. It lacked a lid, and i found this unhygienic, forcing me to wipe it down each time i used it. this detail really impacted my stay.
