Reviews and Ratings
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its charming decor in the bedrooms, cozy four-poster bed, delightful breakfast downstairs with a lovely view. However, there were some minor drawbacks that affected my overall experience.
The hotel boasts a charming atmosphere with a cozy feel and excellent breakfast options. However, the service could be more attentive, and the rooms would benefit from a more modern touch. The proximity to local attractions is a major highlight, but obtaining the room key from the pub across the road can be a hassle.
The hotel offers a charming experience with rooms boasting lovely views and a delightful four-poster bed for a full breakfast. The location is incredibly convenient, being as close as possible to the iconic Roslyn chapel. However, the dining options might not suit everyone's taste, and the Wi-Fi is not complimentary.
