We arrived at Ellersly House very late at night, after our car broke down on our way to Isle of Skye. After many hours of waiting for car assistance and after going around many fully booked hotels we were "saved" by an a good soul at the Holiday inn that found us a room at Ellersly. On arrival we were... more

We travelled over from Ireland for the Scotland match last saturday. The hotel is rather rundown (patchy carpets, windows don't quite close, overheated rooms), but the staff really made an incredible effort to keep everybody happy -- even after the beer ran out in the bar -- and they more than made up for the building's shortcomings. more

I had booked two singles and a double on the phone and we were upgraded to two executive suites and a large... more
