We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Due to Storm Floris and all cancelled transport to Scotland, we could not proceed to our intended destination, Glasgow, on Monday. The bed and pillows were really comfortable and the room was really clean, renovated and looked great. The staff at check-in and at breakfast were pretty friendly and efficient as well.
