Small but great location.
The people were very nice and friendly and we were given a breakfast bag and bottled water every day. It was very clean and had nice furnishings. Our only real complaint was that it was so small for two people that we could barely move around and had to keep our bags under the bed so we could. Plus the room was a little pricier than other places we stayed that had way more room. It was however in a great location for us for getting a bus, train or boat for our travels and sight seeing.

Small room
The staff were excellent. Rooms were clean and tidy. However, the rooms were very small as was the en suite. Moving around the room was difficult as my wife and I could not pass each other at the same time.

The property is in a great spot and a lovely old building. Rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean.My only complaint is the rules re no food in the room are inflexible when it comes to a guest being unwell.

Great location in a beautiful town. Lots of dining options in town and fantastic pub and patio on site. The bar staff have amazing knowledge of Scotch Whiskey with an impressive selection to choose from. We enjoyed our night at Whiskey Vaults, recommend staying there. SteveC - Canadian

Great stay
Service was exceptional. Very friendly and efficient staff. Good location. Tiniest room I’ve stayed in (even in Europe) but it was clean and comfortable. It was just a bit dreary with the darker colored walls and the sad view of the roof.
