2/10 Terrible

This place is an insult to Scottish hospitality.
Ignore the suspiciously brief 10/10 ratings. There is no way anyone in their right might could go any higher than 4/10.
Virtually all the soft furnishings reek of stale sweat. The beds are torture to sleep in with cheap nasty lumpy mattresses and solid pillows.
Staffing the place is an absolute joke with 1 person covering bar and restaurant as the owners tout for business from the campsite across the road meaning residents food orders get delayed (we watched one couple get their mains before the starters).
Shambolic sums it up.
The bathrooms are dirty, the showers a joke and you’d best hope you don’t get 104 which is beneath the owners accommodation as you’ll be awake all night with them stomping around on the dilapidated floor above.
The other thing to avoid is the joke of a breakfast. Cheap nasty cereals left out to go stale, coffee that must be the third use of the grounds it’s so weak and a ‘Full Scottish Breakfast” that wasn’t — not even close — you get the idea (the Scottish Cheese Boards they charge you £11.50 for? Gouda, smoked German cheese, Brie and Stilton. Nothing Scottish at all.
We booked three nights but, despite being blown away by the beauty of the local area we had to cut short our trip and return home. Two nights of no sleep and neck and back pain caused by the nasty beds made a third night an absolute no.
We live in Scotland. There is better out there. Avoid this glorified B&B with sullen staff.
