I received a kind upgrade to a bigger room. It was an excellent space. the kitchenette was a real bonus i found. the location is just off the a9, that's easy for walking into town.
My room lacked heating. Two radiators were present, but they didn't turn on at all.

i totally loved that my double room had so much space! i also appreciated the lovely views from the windows, it was super! the location in birnham suited me perfectly, i couldn't have asked for more.
the bed was quite soft, though i slept well enough i would have preferred a firmer mattress.
