Very central with lovely views across the bay. We had the number 12 stateroom- two four poster beds & enough room to have a dance! The 12 windows made it exceptionally light with unbelievable views of the harbour & beyond.
Only criticism was it’s a bit dated however everything else was exceptional.

The room overlooking the sea was just beautiful and I will book again if ever free. Very big and spacious. Quiet. Hot water taps are brilliant for baths. The bar staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Bar open all night 😀…
Very nice reception staff and domestic staff as well.
The only think I can think of is the shower. It never got hot. Am not the only one who happened to mention this.

This is a nice, historic hotel. That means it has plenty of charm, but also single pain glass and the heating is not a simple single thermostat on the wall. We had plenty of room and nice views of the harbor. The breakfast was your standard Scottish breakfast, just fine. Staff are friendly and we had a good stay.
Would be nice if hotel had more dedicated parking, but we managed to park for free since we were staying over Sunday.
