We visited during a heatwave. Hotel only 2 minutes from a beautiful sandy beaches. Went there every morning and evenings during our two nights stay. It is a traditional Scottish hotel so unfortunately did not have air-conditioning, but we didn't expect to have that, and it did not effect our enjoyment. Room was well equipped, with coffee pods etc, and kettle. Large 42 inch tv. Staff very friendly.

Green led light on what I assume was the fire alarm system was a nuisance at night. Bed frame needed tightening with an Allen key. One of the two windows wouldn't open. Cracked bathroom sink. On the positive side staff were really friendly and helpful. I felt full Scottish breakfast could have been improved with better quality ingredients.
