Super ligging, op wandelafstand van de parking. Ruime standaard kamer met grote badkamer.

Fruit en yoghurt werden niet aangevuld,pech als je wat laat komt ontbijten.

8.0

Hôtel très confortable décoration soignée. Personnel très attentif nous avons demandé pour changer de chambre à 23 h à cause de travaux dans la rue et cela s’est déroulé sans problème. Le bémol c’est le petit dej dans une salle sans âme et sans fenêtre. Le petit déjeuner devrait avoir lieu dans la brasserie au niveau de la rue qui est splendide. Comme partout en Ecosse prix important. Malgré tout très bel endroit à recommander

Lobby un peu petit. Salle de déjeuner sans intérêt. Machine à café dans la chambre execrable( envoie des taches partout sur la table.
