Would love to stay here again!

Lovely stay in a nice spacious and clean room. Comfortable beds. Great atmosphere with very friendly staff and last but absolutely not least the Tunnock Teacakes (a kind of milk chocolate mallow) left for us both in the room and in the reception - they are now the official “taste of Scotland” for us.
