Retro Vibes and Super clean Room!
super clean roombed comfortfriendly staffcontinental breakfast
The room was super clean. The bed provided amazing comfort. Scottish toiletries in the bathroom smelled divine. I liked the extras like a dental and shaving kit! I enjoyed the sea view from the room. The working record player was a big hit for my husband! The staff were super friendly and efficient. The food was well presented on a beautiful plate.
The continental breakfast was ideal for me. Others may not like it since it is not for everyone. But there was still plenty of choice.

Dinner service was great with friendly staff. The food presentation was lovely on a beautiful plate. My salmon was locally caught, though slightly overdone, it remained lovely.

I found the room amazing with many nice touches. The shampoo, conditioner and soaps were all scottish made and all natural. i especially loved the working record player in the room. It added a retro vibe to the room.
the movement from other doors around the place caused my bedroom door to make a sound as if opening, which caused interrupted sleep. it was a small inconvenience.

The shower had good power and quality toiletries were provided.
The room was quite small. There was little space for luggage. Breakfast was chaotic and the staff seemed short-handed, I noticed no clean plates available at one point.
