We had to drive around and around, but we found it.
When we arrived, we thought the back of the hotel facing the water was the front. We made someone run inside and were told the right way to get to reception. They have a place to park our huge van, but we had to wait for people to leave so that we could fit. In the end, reception told us to just leave it on the street since her car was there.
We were only going to be here one night. Not even a whole day, just one night. The hotel is older without an elevator. The rooms are decorated really cute with a little canopy over our comfy bed. The room is average size. I like reading the hotel book to tell me a little about the place. Our view is a wall, but I wasn't looking out our window anyhow since there was so much to do.
We went to the lobby and ordered a coffee and a beer. The shortbread cookies that came with my coffee were so nice... prime example of a good cookie. My husband was offered a taste of beer just to make sure he really wanted it. They had San Miguel on tap, which seemed weird to me. After our friends were all settled, we went out for dinner. When we came back, we sat around using the free wifi and then went to bed.
In the morning, we were the last ones to breakfast. FULL SCOTTISH PLEASE! There was an assortment of cereal and canned fruit at the door, along with pots of coffee. Yummy yummy. Breakfast was great and didn't taste like free at all. You know how sometimes places include breakfast and they are gross... not here.
I would stay here again. The location is beautiful with quick access to the river. We were within walking distance of a restaurant and a Tesco... it was great. read more
