"We chose the Bridge Hotel as a stopover on our way to the ferry at Scrabster. The hotel is in a lovely period building just opposite the old bridge/river. We were greeted by a roaring real fire in the characterful entrance/lounge. It has a grand feel with lots of interesting cabinets /curios and prints on the walls. Our 2nd floor room was spacious with good views to the hillside. The was plenty of choice in the breakfast room next morning. A perfect stopover..."

"We always have a great stay at the Park. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and the staff are super helpful. The water pressure in the bedrooms is excellent and there is always plenty of hot water. Great parking and super convenient yet quiet location. Handy for town and for a quick departure south in the morning. It's not the prettiest building but don't let that put you off. I do miss the omelettes cooked to order in the morning, though."
