Very pleasant stay
Very nice stay here. Nice part of the world & all staff were friendly!!
Would definitely consider staying again if ever in the area.
Breakfast was good but slightly slow service which wasn’t our servers fault as she was very busy & working alone. She was very friendly.
Bar stayed open late which worked well with us catching up with friends. And the bar staff were great, didn’t feel like they were rushing us at the end of the night.

Overnight stay
Customer service was average. Did not feel welcomed. However meals for dinner and breakfast were good and large servings. States washing facilities but we were told they no longer exist. Close to see the seals which was great. Cute little town.
Our stay was lovely and restful. We were in room 11 which has a double aspect. It was quiet, the bed was very comfortable. Shower hot. Decorated nicely. The only downside was no TV as sky was down. The lovely Scottish breakfast was plentiful and hot. Staff very welcoming and helpful. And best thing deal beach is only a 6 month nute walk away. Would definitely stay here again.
Rooms a good size, clean and biscuits replenished for rhe 2nd day a nice touch other hotels don't do.
Food choice was variable and tasty
Breakfast service and flavour was the best ive had on my travels for more that 2 years with 25+ business trips in that time
Quiet town/village feel. Easy to find and park.
Restaurant has lots of choice and many locals eating there, which is a very good sign.
Welcoming check in.
Rooms are freshly decorated and have piping hot shower . Heating in room is always on too
Great bar with wide selection of home made food and reasonable pricing for drinks .
Big car park and easily accessible to main routes
Room was very clean and smelled fresh, had all that you needed - tea/coffee , hair dryer etc, bed was really comfortable, en-suite was very clean and the towels were really soft.
The staff were really nice, friendly and very accommodating.
The food was delicious - we had an evening meal and the free breakfast in the lovely restaurant which is also dog friendly.
When the restaurant area was closed, you could use the bar.
It had an outdoor area and parking facilities.
Really enjoyable accommodation/stay and would definitely recommend it !
