This hotel is a treasure. The room was clean and comfortable. We dined in the hotel and the food (and cocktails) were excellent and a lovely Christmassy feel. Most of all the customer service was exceptional. A brilliant few days away.

The room was clean and cozy with high ceilings. The bar and restaurant below had fantastic food and drinks. At night, it is a lively seen filled with locals (though this did not disturb any early nights we had)

The Black Ivy was so cute! The restaurant is great and it’s nice to have breakfast in your hotel and the rooms are super clean. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The only thing I would say is that the hot water for the shower was not very hot (to be fair I like it basically the temp of the surface of the sun) but it was above warm at best. I liked the tea and cookie set up and the room decor <3

The place needs air conditioning
The staff were cheerful and friendly. Room 211, top floor, was ok but *stifflingly hot* and sleeping was near impossible. To be fair it was during a very hot period in August which I realise may be unusual for Scotland but there was no air conditioning, the window only opened a few centimetres and the fan was all but useless. Altogether it was an expensive and uncomfortable night in a very small room.
