We stayed at the Kelvin Hotel. This is a converted Victorian house, and these types of B&Bs are all over the UK. We've stayed in several. They are pretty basic but functional. The real difference is the people who run then. We've stayed in a couple where the owners didn't give a damn, and we've stayed in some that the people running it were great, like the Avalon Hotel in Brighton. In this case, we lucked out. Linda was gracious and took great care of us. We arrived about 8:30 am, in the middle of breakfast. She let us in, gave us a place to store our bags, and even offered us breakfast! When we returned in the afternoon she has set us up with a room with a private entrance for the doggies and put our bags in there. Now that's service!
Anyway, as everywhere, the doggies attract a lot of attention, and we met and talked to a lot of nice people. Only found 1 real dog friendly place, but others where we could sit outside and eat or drink with the dogs.
We couldn't wait to get out of there and into the highlands, so bright and early Tuesday morning we were off!
