We stayed for two nights. I was immediately impressed by the friendliness of the staff. After reading some of the reviews on here I was concrened that the accommodation would be poor. It was in fact very good. My room was clean, warm and well serviced. For the rates charged, this hotel is excellent value. We will be back when... More

We stayed here on a saturday night. I looked at the price on laterooms for a twin/double but then booked through the online chat thingy as we got a family room for the same price - we are a couple and a 4 year old. We paid £45 for B&B - this is cheaper than a hostel. The room was... More

There's so much so very wrong with this Hotel I don't know where to begin. If you have to book this hotel do yourself a favour & book for room only the breakfast is dire, as is the service!

We stayed at this hotel for one night on the way back home from Orkney in May 2012. The hotel initially looked great, the reception was inviting and the receptionist very helpful and friendly but it all went a bit rubbish when we got to our room. I hoped to not have to write a negative review of this hotel... More

The receptionist was helpful and... More

Stayed last week on a business trip. My stay was very nice and my room was great. All staff were very friendly and helpful, especially reception staff. Room was clean and food was great. Only slight criticism is the long walk to the room and the noise from the cars outside but it is to be expected when the hotel... More
