The room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed, great view, and a shower with the best water pressure ever! :) The woman in the reception was friendly and she informed us about our dining options at the hotel. We chose to eat in the bar, which was cosy and served good food. The woman working in the bar seemed to have a lot to do, since she went missing now and then, but she was very nice and friendly so that didn't bother us. The general aura of the hotel and its staff was friendly rather than strictly perfect, which suited us very good! We have nothing at all to complain about, and we would be happy to return to Newton hotel for our next visit to Scotland.
