Accommodation was relatively easy to find.. Booking in was unusual as I had to check in at the India restaurant apposite the accommodation. Staff very friendly. Room spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Toilet clean and tidy. Yes/coffee facility available. A bit noisy during the evening with the pub being below the accommodation but not a major issue. Reasonable priced... Now that I know the setup .Yes Id probably stay again..

It was a nice ensuite room, it was clean but amenities were not good, TV was not working, Internet was slow. Although there were complementary tea and coffee was provided but the electric kettle was not working properly. Bathroom was clean and amenities were placed in. Overall it was not bad in such a low price.

Be aware if booking that there is no parking on site. You have to go to another property on the other side of the dual carriageway to collect your key and park your car. This isn’t made clear in the listing. If like me you have a lot of work stuff to carry back to your accommodation, it isn’t really suitable. I tried to contact the owners numerous times and had no response. Hotels.com also tried to contact them numerous times regarding a refund but couldn’t get hold of them. I had to pay for another accommodation for the night.

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge. We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight All in all the space was great

More info needed

A perfectly good stay. Good location for what we wanted and good price. Check in was a problem which with good comms should’ve been fine. So if you are staying - both parking and check-in are over the road in the “spice” restaurant. Our room was exactly the one in the picture. Basic, clean and did the job.

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to
