Awful mattresses. Tired, haphazard furniture, but great location and good shower.

This place needs to be completely updated and get new mattresses! While the host was very friendly, helpful and very nice, language was a barrier. The location is great with good restaurants and bars close by. However, the two rooms we rented, with "four poster" double beds, were run down, tired and worn looking with the worst mattresses of our trip or any trip in memory! You constantly felt like you were falling out of bed! So our sleep was poor and that is a problem when you're walking miles per day seeing the sights! This was wearing after several nights. The sheets were clean and the bathroom was clean with a great shower. The rugs were stretched and a bit sketchy. With some serious updates of furniture, the mattresses being the priority, and new bedframes - they wobbled terribly, this place would be a great place!

What a lovely guest house this is! We were driving down from Aberdeen for a concert in Edinburgh, and we arrived after reception closed due to traffic jams. The guest house contacted us and gave instructions on how to get into our room. The guest house was lovely. Our room was really nice. The whole place was so clean. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and well cooked, and it was very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this lovely guest house

Dirty room and dodgy security. Don't bother.

A very odd check in experience - received a text with the code to the key lockbox. But no keys inside and a note on the door with a mobile number to call. I did get the key to the room - which was not at all clean. Dusty with a large brown stain on the carpet near the bathroom. The lock on the room door was a poor yale lock and having sat in the restaurant opposite and observed people coming and leaving the main door open and others just wandering in I decided not to stay there. It was probably a nice place once. But it now needs a decent clean and a refurb. And some owners who meet and greet guests. For the same price you can stay in the Premier Inn.

Disappointing, by chance we got access as there is seldom anyone at the guest house. The room was poor, peeling wall paper, mouldy shower, loo seat broken, back garden in need of TLC , poor decor etc etc etc Never really acceptable especially when you pay top dollar. Breakfast was nice and the service good but not included in the price ?????

We had 2 rooms for a night this weekend. The 4 poster room was disappointing and not worth the money paid. Very tired decor and furniture. Wallpaper coming off and just generally needs a refurb. Breakfast was not included and cost extra £8.50 each. It was a good breakfast. However the breakfast room was again tired in decor with wallpaper hanging from ceiling. Good location. Sent email 2 days before arrival via booking . Com for advice on where to park. No reply revived and we had problem finding space
