Acceptable stay with issues

squeaky bed uncomfortable mattress
The location was excellent and convenient for getting to the town center.
The room was not comfortable. The bed squeaked loudly, and the mattress felt rather uncomfortable to me. Noise traveled easily from the hallway. Every footstep and conversation echoed through the room.

the team gave a really WARM welcome. the inside is beautifully presented. breakfast included lots of choice and extras. michael provided the warmest welcome i've had in scotland.
the old carpet flooring in the room could be changed. the bathroom smelled bad, so receptionist put toilet cleaner in the toilet. even with that, i could still smell it, but it wasn't as bad. the ceiling in the bathroom and head of shower had mould.
