盧伊布飯店

Una casa del 1700, con i limiti dati dall'età, ma con un'atmosfera unica, a partire dal grande camino della sala ristorante. Camera piccola ma con un letto molto comodo, un bagno essenziale ma nuovo, il tutto molto pulito. Data la stagione non ancora turistica eravamo gli unici ospiti stranieri ed è stato bello poter scambiare due chiacchiere con Sue e John, sviluppando l'idea di ritornare a giugno per ascoltare le cornamuse e prendere parte al Cèilidh sul terreno circostante. Last but not least: il miglior fish and chips gustato nei nostri viaggi, John è pescatore per passione e sa come trattare il pesce e per di più ha fatto il cuoco per tutta la vita...la tipica colazione scozzese è stata all'altezza, con uno haggis di alta qualità.

This is Fawlty Towers without the charm of Basil Fawlty! Let’s get the plusses out of the way first - the hotel had vacancies and the room rate was under £100. Now the negatives: Decorations tired Thin walls Surly owner grunts at breakfast if you ask for anything other than a full Scottish! Refused to poach an egg and required 24 hours notice to provide a boiled one. This guy purports to have worked in the finest fish restaurants in the world - perhaps none of them served eggs! No cereal No juice Dirty cutlery There were 4 beers in the bar and on no night were they all available. They can’t be bothered to change the barrel, they just ask the customer to compromise accordingly. Staff bad mouthed local pubs but we found they served far superior food. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this one. If you want the laughs without the grief just watch Fawlty Towers on catch-up!

Hotel was nice staff friendly made to feel welcome, was bank holiday wasn't much open, not much option for being told after checking in and having few drinks that not serving meals only due to cook having op. But meals provided other nice with limited options that was decent options
