The hotel is done, it's that simple.
The food was poor, the hot breakfast items mainly cold and waiter/waitress attendance nonchalant at best
A bit outdated room but clean and hotel offers nice Aminities.

Great place to explore the area from
Lovely staff, great food and good leisure facilities.it is a bit in need of some TLC and was hotter than the centre of the sun but overall good value for money.
Good location clean tidy rooms though a bit tired. Restaurant was very good food was nice and good choice. Reception was quick at chevking us in and informing us of hotel facilities etc.
This was our second stay in the Buchanan Arms Hotel and we were not dissapointed.
Lovely lounge/bar/conservatory area. We enjoyed our dinner in the hotels restaurant and staff were friendly.
We will be back :)
