Pine Marten, Dunbar by Marston's Inns
Overall nice stay, clean rooms and friendly staff. Our only real issue was the heater in room did not work. I heard same from a few others who were staying as well. They did provide a space heater which worked well, but I did not feel safe sleeping with it on.

Check in was quick and service was very friendly. Parking handy although we were lucky to get last space. Room small but nice. Noise from function room not ideal when trying to get to sleep. Lovely location.
