The staff were friendly. I was shown to my room after completing paperwork. The croissants were a dream (so buttery!).
The shower room had minimal shelf space for toiletries. I also noticed the mirror was too high for some.

i booked a spacious double for my stay. the room was very nice and neat. the en-suite had a walk-in shower and was well equipped.
the room was a little cold until i requested extra heating. !! the staff were pleasant! but the wi-fi was slow. i think the hotel should have considered that.

comfortable roominadequate tapslimited whisky
The professional staff welcomed me and showed me to my room. The room was large, comfortable, and clean and decorated on the theme of a local coastal village.
The taps in the bedroom did not function adequately and a plumber should address this (I would think this is basic maintenance). The pelmet fell down when I adjusted the blind. A range of malts would appeal to some clients in the bar. The whisky selection was limited.
