The hotel room was spacious and clean with no excess flourishes such as multiple cushions that cover the bed and end up taking floor space. Breakfast, included in the price, was excellent, I especially enjoyed the haggis in my Scottish breakfast. I stayed for one night and used the bar once, the staff were efficient and the options good.
My room faced south and had no air conditioning, and in this hot summer that proved a problem as the room temp was in excess of 30C, making the room extremely uncomfortable. The fan I borrowed from reception did nothing but blow hot air around. To be comfortable I had to sit in the room with a wet towel around me and sleep on top of the bed.
There were no electric sockets beside the bed and few in the room, so charging phones etc. meant juggling with plugs.
I ate dinner in the restaurant and ordered a scottish beef burger, but since they would not do it the way I liked it (medium rare) due to their concerns over my well being, I ordered the pork loin instead, which came out under-cooked and had to be sent back for further few minutes under the grill. I was not warned that the plate was red hot. So I thought it ironic that the chef will not serve beef unless it is burnt, but happy to serve raw pork.
