Lovely modern hotel
Lovely hotel; the decor was fabulous. Comfortable room with water, chocolates and coffee, tea and biscuits. Good shower but not so keen on a glass door to the en-suite! Staff very friendly and helpful.

Idyllic and relaxing
The hotel is minutes walking distance from the train station and the view down is idyllic itself looking towards the water. The check in was easy and the staff were very friendly and helpful asked us if we would like to book our meal in the restaurant and although we were also told when breakfast was, I liked that everything you’d need to know was also on the key ring to your room. The room was spacious, the view was amazing from either windows and the shower was exceptional. The bed was so comfy and the coffee machine is a nice touch. I also love that the shampoo, conditioner and soaps are all scottish made and all natural. The extras of the dental kit (toothbrush and toothpaste) and shaving kit(shaving gel and razor) was a nice suprise. The breakfast was excellent, there was a lot of great choices available and the fruit tasted fresh. The bar area is also a nice place to have drinks or something to eat as it’s relaxing and full of character and charm.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riva. It is an older property that has been updated and was a perfect spot to relax in between our outings in the area. The train station is so close and we enjoyed walking the area safely

First day in Scotland
The folks who run the Reba boutique are super friendly Breakfast and dinner last night was delicious. Really good location with free parking across the street. Our room didn’t have a view, but we had one double bed and a pullout sofa. Bathroom was really clean. I would recommend this place for a family.
