Great location, nice staff, comfortable rooms and delicious restaurant. Breakfast was the best we had in Scotland in our whole 10 day trip. We took a morning walk along the river. Great location for the distilleries as well.

Great place to stay
We’ve stayed here a couple of times as room spotless and comfortable. Food was great and breakfast plentiful. Overall an excellent place to stay, the only slight issue which in the grand scale of things is only a small point but for evening meal clearing plates slow and empty glasses left for whole meal, just a little more attention to detail but won’t stop us returning.

Great experience!
The staff was attentive and accommodating. Glad we were able to enjoy the billiards and juke box in the back garage area. Food was excellent.

Great location with great staff. Food very good but pricey. No elevators which is not ideal when you’re on the 4th floor with a big bag. Rooms were freezing cold when we got there although they did warm up eventually. Could only stand up on one side of the room due to the ceiling slope. Overall a good stay with a few surprises.

Great we’re place.
What a gem of a hotel. We only stayed one night. I slept so well in a big comfy bed. The rooms are beautiful. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I totally recommend. We’ll be back.

The staff at the hotel were really polite and helpful. Several whiskey distilleries are close to the hotel and Walker’s Shortbread Factory is a short walk away. Note that there are no elevators at the hotel.
