Based on the price price paid, this was a five star experience. Almost impossible to criticize any aspect of our stay from the excellent pre-arrival communication through to our day of departure; very comfortable bed, nice quality linens and towels, great hot water, very good wifi signal and service, great basic selection of pans, plates & cutlery(with knifes that were sharp), considerately stocked with tea/coffee/sugar and a lovely complimentary bottle of prosecco ! This is what hospitality is meant to be.
A few observations (constructive, not in any way negative)
• The space is compact, but a tremendous amount of thought has gone into space utilization. For sleeping, waking up, showering, and having a breakfast before heading out, you have all the space you need. We did appreciate being able to sit outside (between the Scottish summer storms) and enjoy a nice bottle of wine, as our room then stretched across the fields !
• The arch shaped windows do have blinds, but only the square section of the window is covered. Enough for privacy, but lacks ‘black out’ especially when it gets light very early during a Scottish summer. I think a simple semi-circled panel with suction cups could be easily attached/removed for those that would prefer/benefit from a darker a room.
• When it rains(storms), it feels like you are right in the middle of it, which we loved.
Very different experience from a typical hotel room (which is our norm), but plan accordingly and it's great !
