Loved by guests
"The kids especially appreciated the complimentary teacakes, caramel wafers and Irn Bru!"
"The fridge was stocked with complimentary drinks and food which was restocked each day."
"Incidentally, the hotel's location made it the easiest airport transfer ever - buy an open return at the airport, hop on a tram."
