wonderful selection freshly cooked food delicious dinner
The breakfast menu had a wonderful selection, and I even got to choose the exact time I wanted it. The food was freshly cooked and hot. I enjoyed the dinner menu. It was delicious. There were good choices for evening meals.
The shower room was small, and I didn't have much room to dry myself.

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues
hotel location sleep disruption
The bar's food menu was acceptable. I went for Balmoral Chicken (chicken breast stuffed with haggis, wrapped in bacon, and peppercorn sauce).
The room was not located inside the main hotel. I had hardly any sleep and the thought of returning next Thursday is actually putting a damper on my holiday (I did not expect that).
