Babbity Bowster's Review

It takes its name from a Scottish dance, but the sound you mainly hear at this comfortable and friendly establishment is the buzz of conversation and, on Saturday afternoon, the melodies of Scotland played by the musicians who drop by and jam together. With its bar and restaurants, this restored 18th-century Robert Adam town house is a lively place to stay. Openness and simplicity are the hallmarks of the hotel, whose rooms are basic and bright, with starched white linens. A first-floor restaurant features Scottish ingredients with a French flair. Upstairs the food is more sophisticated, often including game.
