The radiator in my room was not functioning. The room remained cold . the absence of a full scottish breakfast (no black pudding or haggis) was disappointing. i expected more variety for the price paid.

The location proved convenient. It was a short drive into town. the grounds was well kept and provided a pleasant backdrop. breakfast service was good with attentive staff members.
i noted cobwebs around the doorway to the rail carriage suite. the toilet system kept running after flushing. i also felt the rate was high given the condition of some aspects.
