Could not get the shower to work. Beds not made up on day 2 though the maids did wash our coffee cups and fold the end of the toilet paper into a point!

Schönes kleines Hotel in einer grandiosen Landschaft. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und ständig um unser Wohl besorgt. Unser Zimmer war schön mit einem wundervollen Blick auf einen liebevoll restaurierten historischen Bahnhof. Wir können dieses Hotel bestens weiterempfehlen.

Our check in at this hotel was good enough, if very slow. The guy on reception showed us to our room. We paid about £130 for bed and breakfast at this hotel, and it definitely wasn’t worth that price. We are regular travellers who managed to secure an awesome room in Glasgow two nights before at less than half that price! Firstly, the room was nice and spacious enough, but the en-suite bathroom was an absolute joke. An overweight person would not have felt comfortable using the toilet and might not even have fitted into the space allocated to the toilet (I’ll add a picture to prove my point) Secondly, one of the taps was fitted the wrong way round and almost fell off when you attempted to use it. This place is a bit of a faulty towers! It’s a nice old building, but obviously not that well-maintained. I am glad we chose to eat at Anderson’s, a few paces up the road, because when we attempted to pay by cash for our drinks at the hotel bar, we were told they didn’t take cash. My drinks were already poured before they made this shambolic revaluation, so they had no other option than to take my cash (and before anyone replies about a lack of banking facilities in the town, there’s a Post Office across the road). I feel places like this are an embarrassment to Scottish tourism. The breakfast was nice, freshly cooked. But 7.45 - 9 am is too early to serve breakfast at the weekend. Again, pretentious and out of touch.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well accommodated. They even carried out (incredibly heavy!!) suitcases upstairs for us. The food was incredible and there was so much variety. The only issue was the shower in our room which didn’t have temperature control and the screen was a bit broken. This wasn’t an issue for us as we were only there one night and the standalone bath was beautiful!! The rooms need a little updating but the space is incredible and the rooms were always clean.

We stayed for one night and although our room was fine it hadn’t been dusted properly and the water pressure in the shower was non existent. Had lunch when we arrived and it wasn’t great. We were told it was lentil soup when it was clearly more like a very thick pea soup.

Friendly welcome and used nearby hotel parking. Managed to get an off duty waiter to carry my bags as no lift. One of the worst ever views from bedroom window of fire escape and the bathroom window faced a concrete wall a couple of feet away, so check with hotel about the situation of room before booking. Unable to get breakfast tea despite asking the waitress - this further spoilt my stay
