Transfer
Great property. There are quite a bit of hills/stairs between train station and property. If traveling with heavy luggage, would highly recommend Uber.

A decent stay at Voco!
Older style hotel that Volvo have down up to a decent standard. Lobby area and bar fantastic. Rooms are okay, beds are rather small and bathrooms haven’t been refurbished so they are looking tired. Good breakfast offering, very bad coffee machines… these need changing! Service overall from Voco team was welcoming and warm.

Great valentines weekend at the Voco
Voco by IHG was a fantastic stay. The hotel was very nice and the staff were all friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was perfectly fine. The hotel breakfast was of course Scottish inspired but with other options as well.
