We were attending a wedding. Things got delayed, and I checked in by phone. The lady said the key would be left on the bar for collection. Later they rang me and said if I hadn't collected the key by 10.30/10.45 they would have gone and we wouldn't have a room. Had to leave Reception early to ensure we had a bed. Room spotlessly clean, although bin not emptied. Stair carpet very dirty and worn, and room smelt of state cigarette smoke. Breakfast I ordered porridge which never arrived and received a fried egg at breakfast rather than the scrambled I requested.

Nice food
We booked in for one night on our way back from John O' Groats. Our room was upstairs no lift and no offer of help with my suitcase. I have arthritis in both of my hands and wrists. Our room was alright. But it was all a bit jaded. We were provided with enough coffee sachets a milk for 2 cups of coffee, however the kettle had to be plugged in and boiled on the floor because the lead was not long enough to reach any flat surface. Choice of breakfast. I provided my own cereal as they didn't provide a gluten free option. Carpets were all a bit shabby and looked like they needed a good clean. Booked in for evening meal which was excellent and also they had a gluten free menu, so we were very pleased wirh that. We had stayed here a few years ago for several days and noticed how much things had deteriorated. I doubt if will stay there again.

A perfect overnight stay.
I was only looking for an overnight stay on a business trip to Scotland and this fitted the bill perfectly. I was late to check in, but the hotel called me to make sure I was ok and still coming, which I thought was a nice touch. I had a beer in the (busy) bar before bed, a good breakfast to start the next day, and great hospitality throughout. No issues at all, and I’d happily recommend it.

A bit run by down and in need of some care and attention. No spare loo roll! Breakfast somewhat sparse and once you had booked for day one gut same again on day two - like it or not.
