    "There are not many available hotels in this area and the general quality of hotels in Scotland is poor, so there is little competition. However the star ratings really need to be monitored and removed where they are not justified." (3304634755)

    Close proximity to the person we were visiting.

    Inadequate parking spaces, poor standard of furnishings, run down decoration, room not being made up on the second day. Breakfast sittings finish at 9.00 am.
