A short 1 night stay while visiting friends nearby. In short the location, service, & breakfast were all good, but the hotel building is need of some work. It's a lovely period property in the style that is expected with creaking floorboards, sash windows, and curious corridors leading to uniquely shaped rooms. The single room was compact and had been somewhat modernised, the bed was comfortable and clean, but sadly that didn't extend into the bathroom/shower-room that needed some work. Perhaps most noticably there are many simple things that would bring the room fully up to scratch such as sorting out the grouting in the bathroom, replacing the noisy extractor fan, removing mould from around the bathroom ceiling, replacing the dirty net curtain on the window, washing the carpet regularly & hoovering more carefully. Similarly with the front of the building, give all the painted areas a refresh, peeling paint is not a good first impression when parking the car. The full scottish breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Hopefully if I do return on a visit next year the owners will have made some improvements to the building as it could be a lovely hotel with much higher review scores.
We had a lovely time at The Law. The central location is perfect, the room was very clean, the bed was super comfy, and both the breakfast and service were a total 10/10
Just a quick heads-up for families, though:
the soundproofing between the bedrooms is quite thin. Between the nearby church bells and being able to hear pretty much every noise from the adjacent rooms, our sleep was disrupted late at night and early in the morning. When travelling with children, it's just something to be aware of since you can hear your neighbours quite clearly.
It’s a fantastic spot with great energy, but if you’re travelling with kids or are a light sleeper, it's worth keeping in mind!
Nice hotel, located near supermarket, local shops, pubs, the beach and harbour. The hotel has a beer garden and covered outdoor area as well as the bar and restaurant. On a wednesday all main course items are half price.
