    Decent but not quite up to high standards - Don't stay at the Inn

    Awesome!

    Wonderful facilities. Great location to hop on ferry to Orkneys. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, had everything in the rooms needed. The staff was available, and very friendly. The only issue was that we didn't stay long enough!
