Hotel is tired and needs some refurbishment, cracked tiles in entrance. Furniture walls knocked and marked . Bedroom spacious and clean but dated , bed lined poor, beds with sagging mattress. Furniture knocked and worn, newest bathroom but cracked wobbly floor tiles, broken cabinet, rusty towel rail, shower door would not close. Staff very friendly, views from hotel superb. Breakfast is quantity over quality.

The room was spotless and the view (room 8 ) amazing . We saw some beautiful sunsets. The staff were all lovely and very friendly. Breakfast every morning was delicious, especially the haggis.
