"The hotel, location and staff were excellent. It was just what we needed after a few days in Edinburgh and a long drive. Loved the self-service laundry facilities too. Although, they need to find ways to prevent guests leaving their clothes in for longer than needed. Breakfast was also good. I woukd definitely stay there again.

I would come back and stay here. NCP is right next to the hotel although Sat Nav takes you to the exit of the NCP and it’s on a dual carriage way so a bit tricky to get to.
