+ Really spacious studio flat with ensuite, kitchenette, etc. Free parking right outside. EV Car charging points if needed. Very quiet. Just off the motorway so we stayed enroute to Glasgow airport as a family of 4, it as perfect. The best thing was the breakfast. Quality and service was exceptional. The Service from the waiting staff (a lady) couldn't have been more attentive, nothing was too much trouble.
− Nothing, it was all absolutley perfect for our stay. I'd happily stay again and recommend to other travellers. A great place, much better than a purple or blue chain hotel!
