This is a great example of a Scottish B and B
Updated rooms, great onsite food and drink
The bar tender and receptionist and story teller was a wonderful person
Close to the city but in a small town

Very nice old inn. Lots of history and I love these smaller B&Bs. This was very spacious, clean and quiet. Food was good.
Check-in was confusing. No front desk, went to the bar and found some help.
I thought I reserved 2 twin beds but got a king sized bed instead. So my mom and I had to share a bed, again, for the night. Reserving these is very confusing on Expedia and may be worth calling the place itself first or sending a message that you want the king bed separated.

I love this gorgeous community pub. The rooms are luxurious, the atmosphere is friendly, the breakfasts are delicious. I was attending a course at Gartmore House and it was a joyous walk each day.
I also had to leave very early on the last day and not only did they leave me a breakfast out but also made me a pack lunch. So kind and thoughtful.

This inn had great history and a great story. The staff was amazing and the inn was cozy and comfortable. We loved the fire in the pub. Really good food options. The room was larger than we expected and very comortable. On a 17-day trip this was our favorite place to stay!
