Comfortable Stay Near Blair Castle

comfy beduseful hairdryergood televisiondog hair
the beds were super comfy. A hairdryer was available for use. I found the television in the right position. I did not need to do breakfast as a truck stop was next door, and it was very good.
I noticed dog hair on a chair in the bedroom. It was quite visible. The room felt hot, and the shower had issues with temperature control, going from scalding to freezing. The water pressure was weak.
