This is an old coaching inn so no lifts and a lot of stairs to get to the rooms. Our requested twin room wasn't available but we were given the one bedroom apartment and another room instead. This was fine as we could cook instead of going to restaurants. The proprietors had also given us some supplies such as eggs, bacon, milk tec, which was very generous. The bar downstairs was more of a young person's place but I didn't hear much of the music at night. Parking was in the Argos car park nearby. The area was off the main street, built up and a bit run down. However, much of Montrose centre seemed a bit neglected. The check-in had to be arranged beforehand but it worked out ok, with a young man there to let us in. The hotel seems to be getting upgraded bit by bit and the apartment was large with a good kitchen and a double bedroom.
