Friendly staff, great breakfast, location, warm in the room.

Nothing significant. I couldn't turn on the hot water in the shower. After use the shower licked for a long time.

As on previous occasions I found the staff very helpful. The facilities are excellent. Breakfasts if required are an add on to the basic price but are well worth the extra £9 or so.

The room i booked is very clean and warm. Everything you need is provided. The location is only about 15 minutes to the shops in New Town. Very accessible to bus stops. And there’s a cafe just across the house. Roy is also very nice and accommodating.

You have to be a little careful when going up and down the stairs because it’s a little tricky.

Room was big, clean and comfortable.

Booking online, it said breakfast was included. It wasn't. But it wasn't a bad deal to pay 8.50 for it especially compared to other places nearby. If you can't do stairs, this would be impossible. Room was on third floor, no elevator.

The host was very responsive and nice. The room was perfect, nicely decorated and cosy, we would definitely be back. We had someone replacing the towels and replenishing the tea and coffee tray every day, which was really nice. The house was older, which gave it such a cool vibe and had wonderful details, but the facilities were all modern. I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the negative reviews here, but I'm glad I didn't take them into account, because it has been a really wonderful stay.

Nothing serious in particular, only it would've been better to also have towels for hands, not just 2 big towels. These were changed daily, but having hand towels would've been more convenient. The location was good, a 30 minutes walk from the centre, which in the windy weather we had was sometimes a lot, but the buses were many and not crowded, so we could easily reach the centre.

This airy and welcoming gem was perfect for our last night in Scotland. Close to The Meadows park and lots of thrift shopping and excellent restaurants, we loved the ease of staying here. The staff was kind and welcoming. The large windows overlooked the neighborhood. Gorgeous old staircase. Modern art graced the walls.

I contacted the property twice leading up to our visit for confirmation and didn't hear back. It could have been a technology issue, not a deal breaker. The place was lovely.

The location was great. It was close to the restaurants, pubs, and shops. It was also very clean, the shower was nice and hot. The bed was a little wiggly, but still comfortable. The room had all we needed. The owners are friendly and polite.

When we arrived we noticed a printed note saying that the owners are not available and that we should call them. It was a bit surprising since it wasn't mentioned while booking. We rang the door bell anyway and the owner let us in. Also, the owners decided to do some work in the garden right in front of our window/balcony door. It was quite upsetting and we had to ask them to stop (they were very loud, drilling, and removing concrete). The owner said he thought we weren't there anymore. Thank god they got more quiet after we said we were bothered. Still, we were woken up by loud work two mornings out of three.

the people running this guest house were very accommodating, kind, and there to help with whatever you needed. The room was beautiful, and very well maintained/cleaned, with little beverage complimentary’s which was great for the morning and evenings! the beds were extremely comfortable, and the heater worked great. the location was about a 15 min walk into the main centre, however located on the Main Street so very easy to direct, and plenty of other site seeing close by. highly recommend 😊
