decent stay overall
scottish house comfortable room excellent shower missing towel late arrival low expectations
the location was pretty good, i found the scottish house design quite appealing. my room was large and comfortable, it had an excellent shower. the staff was very polite, i appreciated that they were helpful.
i was looking forward to staying here. sadly, it didn't fully meet expectations! we arrived quite late after a drive. i had to ring for towels as there were none in the room.

poor quality long wait
the room size was fine. the bed was quite large.
The evening meal was a letdown. It seemed like reheated stuff from a bag, and i think the advertising oversold it. then, at the bar, people waited ages for drinks because the poor barman seemed to be working alone, that's a bit much.
