    Loved our time at the hotel, thank you very much. Everything was nice, even so we stayed for 1 night only. Stayed in extremely pleasant and brand-new room with a big and very comfortable bed. It was decorated in the nice design and we used an electric kettle, central heating, an iron and ironing board. The place had a quiet atmosphere.

    The staff was noisy.

    A Perfect Blend of Comfort and Charm

    We enjoyed whiskey tastings in a cozy atmosphere, and the complimentary breakfast bags each morning were a fantastic touch. Don't miss the outdoor beer garden-perfect for sunny afternoons. John and Helen are wonderfully attentive hosts.

    noisy guests

    Had such a great stay, room was super clean n comfy with a good bed. Loved the breakfast pack, nice touch! The whisky bar downstairs was cozy and we had fish n chips delivered right to our table which was amazin. It's really close to the city center so we could walk to all the restaurants n bars easily.

    Was a bit noisy when other guests came back late at night. The room was kinda small for the price.

    shower height issue

    The room was compact but comfy, fine for a couple of nights. The shower was good but might be a challenge for taller folks. Clean and warm, with nice bedding. We had a bit of a squish with luggage, but it was still cozy. Totally loved the breakfast bag they left outside our room. Staff were super friendly and helpful too!

    awesome whisky selection

    The staff was super friendly and knowledgable about whisky. The room was cozy and clean, bigger than i expected for a boutique place. Got a delicious "to go" breakfast bag for our early ferry, really thoughtful. The vibe of the bar was chill, and they have a great selection of drinks!

    Really good Whisky Selection and Cozy Atmosphere

    The staff's knowledge of whisky. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, with gorgeous linens and plush towels. I enjoyed the thoughtful breakfast bag with fresh fruit and yogurt for our early ferry departure. One aspect that could improve is the limited options for breakfast in the bar.
