"Charming, unique place with excellent staff"

9.0

Thie is a very unique hotel; you have to walk through their "world famous whisky bar" to check in. The staircase was a bit difficult to negotiate but the staff was exceedingly helpful getting us to our room and finding a place for our car to park. Dinneer and bereakfast were both very good.

Having an elevator.
