Not for me.

The staff were lovely. No complaints there, and my room had been recently renovated, but the bathroom drains in my ensuite were really smelly. Also, the breakfast coffee was tasteless, and the scrambled eggs didn't taste like eggs.

All members of the group thought this was an absolute jewel. The rooms were clean tidy and comfortable. We availed ourselves of the bar and the drinks were spot on. for food we all had the steak pie which was fabulous. Breakfast was again fantastic and for the price was an absolute bargain. the staff were great friendly and no dramas there are many hotel chains could learn lessons from this establishment. thank you

Very nice staff who looked after us. Quiet apart from the seagulls. However the decor could need a revamp and some TLC. It’s an old pub but curtains etc can easily be fixed and it stays light very late and blackouts must be a certainty

The local people really made the stay here pleasant. They were welcoming, funny and gave us the lay of the land, giving us tips on what to do in the area and where to go. We enjoyed our time hanging out with the them. Also, the food at the restaurant here was delicious and there was live entertainment our first nights stay. The Fyrish Monument trail was nearby but it was quite a hike to get to no matter what the locals say. The Scottish are fit walkers, it nothing for the to hike the area in which they live but for us visitors this hike is steep and challenging if you are not someone who does this type of hike often. We did it and made it to the top which was rewarding. Overall, we made friends with quite a few people from our stay here and have already been in contact with them recently. We would stay here again just for the hospitality.

Hotel room was very clean, a little outdated but was spotless which was really good. However the rest of the hotel was not to the same standard and spoiled my feeling of being comfortable in the hotel.

One night stay

Stayed one night as a stop over on part of our trip. Good stay. Comfy bed and clean room although a bit dated and tired. A mirror in the bedroom would have been useful but managed to stretch hairdryer into bathroom to use mirror in there. Very nice breakfast and friendly woman on front of house and serving.
