Stayed here for 1 night on a tour before catching ferry to the Hebrides. Well-located; helpful staff; ok rooms, although getting to it was like following a maze. The building must be several cobbled together, but it was fine for a brief time. It says "spa," but, if your idea of a spa includes luxury, this isn't quite what you... More

Perhaps the recent change of manager has made the difference. My wife and I stayed 5 nights on a DBB package with Easy-Breaks which included a bottle of house wine with dinner each night.( To buy this wine from the list would have been £15.50 per bottle!) The room was excellent with a comfortable bed, excellent sea views and very... More

Was invited to dinner by good friend who was staying in hotel. There were 6 of us in total. 5 of us ordered the scallops as our main course. Just before our starters arrived, the waiter came across and embarassingly told us that unfortunately the chef '' had taken the scallops off', and we were to choose another main course.... More

We stayed at this hotel on Saturday 02 June to celebrate out wedding anniversary. We stayed on a DBB deal which included a spa treatment each. We stayed in a junior suite which was very spacious and spotless. The food was excellent and the service was very good too. There was a young man on reception when we checked in... More

This, to me, is an example of what was once standard in Britain (and in many places, still is). The building is old and worn (carpets, walls doors, bathroom fixtures). The hot tub was broken. The staff were very friendly but poorly trained--management responsibility. The food was OK but for the price of the room ($195 per night in late... More

Location great, an easy walk back into the seaside town. Our room was in the back of the hotel and was a disappointment/adequate/dull/nothing special with a few minor maintenance issues. On plus side, the bed was large and comfortable. The restaurant (breakfast) and wait staff were superb. Reception was fine, no issues. No parking spaces remained at the hotel (limited... More

Go anywhere but here unless you enjoy overspending for an out of date room with terrible wifi. The beautiful view of the bay does not make up for the horrible accommodations. The night porter is about the only bright spot, but with 20 other places to choose from...it's not worth it.

Spent the first two nights of an 11 night tour of Scotland here. The room was adequate, the restaurant and the service better. We have stayed at many hotels in this chain (one reason we chose it) and would have rated it average (rather than very good) were it not for the fact that stay was at an amazingly low... More
