Review 12：location - short walk to centre price - excellent value for money owner very helpful with all queries.
Review 13：Proximity of town centre, Clenliness of beds and towels, room to move around they moved people around so we could get a low floor(not many stairs) for my partner
Review 14：Couldn't seem to get the free wifi to work,but with only being there for the 1 night wasnt really a problem.
Review 15：About a 2 minute walk to the railway station,about 5 minutes walk to the town centre.
Review 16：Great place if you plan to spend a lot of time outside. Breakfast is awesome and room is cleaned everyday. Very happy with the service and very cheap.
Review 17：Hotel is reasonably clean, but very dated like an old pub from the 80's. Booked as a family online, but were given rooms on two different floors. Bed was really uncomfortable with a dip in the middle,glad it was for just one night.
Review 18：Hotel reasonably clean. Staff stayed up for us to check in late, then rang a taxi for us the next day.
Review 19：Hotel interior very shabby and in much need of a refurbishment entrance to hotel smelt of smoke and dirty shabby carpet dining room also used as a bar and laundry room ironing layed out very depressing bedrooms freshly painted but carpet tired furniture dated definitely should not be rated 3star by Scottish tourism

Review 23：Good location, very Central. Hotel was clean and tidy. Breakfast was very nice as well. Owners were nice.
Review 24：Not so much a bad experience, but my second night coincided with the annual Good Neighbours festivities. Had I known this, I would have chosen accommodation further from the town centre to avoid the noise.
Review 25：It was ordinary and unpretentious. Although I chatted to other residents, I could have been comfortably anonymous. The bedroom was a good size for a single, and it had a good view of the wonderful bowling green. Superb Eggs Benedict.
Review 26：No bad experiences.
Review 27：The bathtub and shower were both very clean and the tub was a welcome part of the evening when travelling for work. The staff ensured that there was gluten free porridge available when I requested a gluten free breakfast. Staff were friendly.

Review 36：Shower cold and unable to adjust temperature - probably due to lack of water pressure. Blind on window did not work. General décor clean but 'tired'. TV ancient and only got it to work once. Some work is needed to bring the standard up - sorry.
