Nice, spacious room with large en-suite. Freshly decorated and refurbished. Only small issue was a quibble over the breakfast, which had been booked with Hotels.com, but the Hotelier disputed. They honoured it when proof of booking was shown, but it did sour things a little. Otherwise it was a nice Hotel and we would stay again. Limited Hotel Parking, but plenty of free public parking around back.

Very good accommodation, choices of bar and lounges, immaculate decor, airy and welcoming, super-friendly staff. I had a very nice single room with a massive ensuite shower room in sparkling condition. Had 2 nights there on my way to and from Stornoway. Super breakfasts to order, and also lucky enough to be there on a Sunday for their really excellent Sunday Roast Carvery. Ryan goes out of his way to ensure everyone has a good experience, and his team are amazing! Will certainly stay again.

The staff was wonderful. The hotel was built in the 1600s, so very rich in history but lacking in modern conveniences. Not accessible for people with mobility issues as there is no lift to the second floor where the guest rooms are located. The food service was good.

Nice clean room small but not tired with a good tv. I had BnB and the breakfast was very good too. I did not eat supper in the hotel.

The room I was in was very tired with wallpaper peeling off the walls, rusty and limescaled bathroom and extremely stained carpet. Bedding and towels were clean and the room smelled fresh. If the room was in better repair, I have no doubt the cleaners had done a good job I paid £94 for a standard room and would have expected better for £60/70. It is rare that I would write a bad review as I am pretty tolerant but when I asked about moving rooms, I was made to feel like I inconvenienced them and also was not able to move into the "done up" rooms due to them not being dog friendly. I did not eat breakfast here so cannot comment on the food.

Was a beautiful large room. The bathroom was beautiful to.The best room ive ever stayed in.very clean and a good firm bed.The service was poor.couldnt get a drink at the bar when needed one.doesnt seem to have enough staff.not much to offer at breakfast. No one was offered tea or coffee though i think you would get coffee if u asked for it as there was cups on the table.no staff available except for the chef in the kitchen.our dinner was ok but not great.i asked for the bill and was sent to the bar to pay it.No bar tender available so we decided just to pay the bill in the morning. An hour later we were rudely interrupted while making love in bed.it was one of the staff at the door wanting payment for the dinner.i told her i would pay it in the morning. She said no one would be there to take the payment so i had to pay now. She was right.No one was there in the morning except the chef in the kitchen.Its a beautiful hotel .it just needs more staff to run it. The room we had was 5 star.

Very good in-town Victorian hotel. Rooms recently refurbished to a high standard. Google maps tells me this is a two star hotel, but it's much better than that. I'd give it 3 1/2 or even 4. Food is good too with an emphasis on local sourcing. Inevitably, some road noise for rooms to the front.

The room was refurbished well. We were unfortunate with our timing because there was a disco until late and we could not sleep initially. The hotel was busy with the wedding guests and so we could not eat there. Also, we were in the room above the kitchens and the air conditioning units were left on late into the night so we could not open the window due to the noise from them. Perhaps they could be switched off earlier? Bed had no support from springs and mattress needed replacing. Breakfast was a very good cooked scottish breakfast - good quality ingredients. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Welcomed by Manager who explained that it had been a festival weekend and had been very busy and had proved too much for the chef who had quit. The evening was staffed by the manager on chef duties and one lady coping with bar and restaurant duties. In spite of this, food was good and service remarkably efficient and friendly.. The following morning, breakfast was cooked and served by the manager who coped cheerfully well. I must congratulate both him and the waitress.

we stayed two nights with our dog. Room was ok and the overall experience was ok. The breakfast was decent quality. What was lacking was knowledge and personal care from all the staff. They did not treat us as customers. We had to ask for things and chase up for breakfast order. When we asked questions on the menu like, what is todays soup of the day, the person had to go to find out. If you get a good deal then it is what it is.

Room was adequate, bathroom very tight but bed comfortable. Meal in evening very good and service good. Breakfast was poor as order was not delivered & when waitress advised rather than offer apologies and then got what was ordered she was very abrupt, sharp and told me I was wrong.

Very good accommodation, choices of bar and lounges, immaculate decor, airy and welcoming, super-friendly staff. I had a very nice single room with a massive ensuite shower room in sparkling condition. Had 2 nights there on my way to and from Stornoway. Super breakfasts to order, and also lucky enough to be there on a Sunday for their really excellent Sunday Roast Carvery. Ryan goes out of his way to ensure everyone has a good experience, and his team are amazing! Will certainly stay again.

5 minute walk from car park not ideal. Many items missing from the menu. Restaurant closed, so we were seated in bar area. Room ok, but dated. Shower like an old Mira type, more a drizzle than a flow. Really good breakfast. Manager, Ryan Lloyd, receptive and eager to please

We have been kept awake all night by somebody working above room 2. Either that or they are learning how to break dance. Room fine sleep rubbish. Lovely evening meal but indifferent breakfast. Staff were very friendly.

The hotel is quite nice but theirs a few issues. The hotel is way too noisy at night, the dining options are a little confusing and the staff seemed a little puzzled about what to be doing.

The room was very spacious and clean. There was some noise from the street and the room above ours. Car parking was useful to have. Breakfast was okay but expensive on top of the room cost.

The staff are amazingly helpful. We were surprised that there's no air-conditioning But, the room was airy and comfortable. In discussions with our Scottish relatives we were advised that air-conditioning conditioning was rare in Scotland
