“The location on the main road, with easy access to local amenities and the sea front, is certainly a plus. I found the rooms quite appealing, with a noticeable attention to retro design and some thoughtful touches like Scottish toiletries and a working record player, though a heads-up on bathroom privacy might be useful.
While the continental breakfast is substantial, I did note the absence of cooked options, which feels like a missed opportunity given the in-house restaurant.”
