Good value hotel with great location

Stayed one night on road trip around Dumfries and Galloway. Was allocated top floor triple room with fantastic view over the harbour. Room itself was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. Only negative was the small en-suite with an incredibly tiny wash hand basin and no rasonable opportunity to hang up towels. Great, plentiful breakfast and friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing view of the harbour and out to sea. In the heart of the village so very central. Good breakfast for a reasonable cost. Quirky rooms using the space available well.

Booked a last minute weekend away without even looking or caring where we went and have to say we were so pleased when we got here. Went for the half board deal, breakfast was nice, dinner was delicious but the cheeseboard - I want to go back just for that!! We were in one of the apartments and the place was so cosy and warm with everything that we needed and plenty of space.
