The restaurant had a warm and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. However, the food was described as mediocre and overpriced by some customers. On the other hand, the hotel received raving reviews for its breathtaking views, attentive staff, and excellent food quality. The Scottish tapas and spacious rooms were highlights for many guests. Overall, the hotel was recommended for its beautiful setting and helpful staff, making it a great choice for a relaxing getaway or a delicious meal with unique Scottish dishes.
