Nice, but crowded
"Room was lovely, nice that it had A/C which is not common in Scotland generally. The dining area was very dirty with food crushed on chairs. Breakfast service doesn’t exist which is definitely needed at least for coffee because the tour groups pack in and it makes breakfast a hassle."
