Not luxurious but full value for money. Single room had a decent bit of space. It was clean and had all I needed for an overnight stay. Nice hot shower and grand view of the Eildons. Reception staff were friendly and explained the process for late night hotel access very clearly. Would definitely use again.

Excellent location and wonderful staff!!! Kailee, Graham, and Cheryl were just a few names of hotel staff that were absolutely above and beyond helpful and friendly! Everyone i encountered was so kind during my week long stay. I loved the food in the hotel restaurant, especially the custard! LoL I ordered extra every chance I could! I didn't try Haggis, lol, but the steak, fish, macaroni, and BLT dishes I did try. All were delicious! The hotel room was roomy for a single. Very comfy bed. No microwave or fridge though. Smallish shower, but worked great. My only pain point was structural and based on my limited mobility, I wish there was an elevator. Also I didn't realize when booking first floor meant still had to go upstairs. Many stairs to and from rooms and out of hotel or to dining room. But if no mobility issues, you will not have a problem. Beautiful hotel! And bus stop is just down a few buildings, very close. Buses super nice and quick. Very inexpensive to get to nearby attractions or just enjoy countryside! Lovely, diverse shops and museums walking nearby! Just loved this stay!
