“This small hotel charmed me with its embrace of Scottish culture, most notably through its connection to the National Piping Centre. I appreciate that the personalized service is clearly a priority, and the on-site restaurant's celebration of seasonal Scottish cuisine makes it a standout. I think the whisky on arrival and the traditional music create a particularly memorable welcome.”

The breakfast was superb. I enjoyed the selection of cereals and pastries. I also appreciated the choice from the full hot breakfast menu that was prepared to order. The staff were really helpful and friendly. I found them lovely.
The hot tap was a trickle. It took a WHILE to fill the bath. I was on the first floor at the front. Noisy revellers were immediately below and caused a disturbance. The bedside tables were poorly covered with fablon presumably to cover previous damage. I noticed this.

I noticed a small issue with the room. Bedside tables was poorly covered with fablon. Perhaps fixing this could improve the room's appearance.
