Everything was great except the room is a bit warm when we got in. Had to wait till evening for the air to cool down. Would be better if there is an option for a standing fan.
Stay was very unique and cozy, and the staff was as nice as could be during the stay. Its a very old building, so you can hear all the neighbors rather easily, especially early in the morning.
When researched online, I saw the town was about 25 minutes from Edinburgh, which seemed reasonable for getting rides or taking the train. However, finding taxis and Ubers to and from the the city proved more difficult. If you're looking to go to the city, I wouldn't recommend staying here. If you're looking for a quiet stay away, it would be very pleasant
LOVLEY BUT URGENTLY NEEDS INVESTMENT/ ATTENTION AS IT COULD BE FANTASTIC as both myself & my partner agreed that this has the potential to be a stunning location & venue if done correctly......HENCE THE LONG REVIEW BUT NOT THERE YET.
On arrival George was very helpful & pleasent to help with are booking in & key pick etc.
The venue itself is a fantastic building both inside & out & in a lovley location.
Are room was very spacious & clean
Whilst beds appeared to be quite new they where very buget.
Plug sockets was a multi extention just placed on floor.
Bedroom window where sash windows with opening mechanism broken.We were lucky that we had brilliant weather but had to wedge window open to allow badly needed air ventilation.
Bathroom.
This was clean but again had a role down blind to provide privacy but this was broken & widing mechanism again not working.
Downstairs Area
Again fantastic oldie worldie decor with a grand piano & beautiful set out dinning area.But all furniture/suites & carpets in this area in need of professional fabric cleaning.
Kitchen Area
Well stocked & seemed to have most things needed & clean but again needs decorating & needs period update
Conclusion would we come back & stay again? ....
NOT IN ITS PRESENT STATE.
But once completed tastefully & correctly would be lovley to revist then has it could have the potential for a real whoow factor.
The room was terrible. The bed was even worse. Mattress was so soft we could feel the bottom of the bed. The pillows were so flat we had to go out and buy some pillows for it didnât eat. Staff didnât know who is staff all in all I would not go there again
We arrived to find the window wide ooen and not able to close, phoned countless times, they arrived at 8:30 eventually to fix it. There was no hot water and the shower was filthy. We landed up having to all chair the double bed as bunk bed was broken and unsafe. It smelt mouldy and was dirty
Bedrooms are gorgeous, very close to Edinburgh and other locations. WiFi is very bad could not get any signal, bad smell from people cooking as the kitchen is used by all. Overall I would stay there again.
La primera noche no habĂa calefacciĂłn, afuera 4ÂșC; agua caliente sĂłlo para una persona, el somier eran 4 tablas literal, el colchĂłn de muelles y sin nada de acolchado, parecĂa de principios de siglo pasado. Durante 4 dĂas no vimos a nadie encargado del alojamiento, los cubos de basura de la cocina llenos por 3 dĂas; las toallas sin cambiar, mucha suciedad en el suelo de la cocina y debajo de los sofĂĄs del salĂłn, porque ayudamos a buscar un mĂłvil de un cliente y habĂa basura y mucho polvo debajo. Nos cambiaron las camas y se llevaron una de las toallas de baño.No la repusieron. Un desastre
A little heat would have made the stay more enjoyable. It was further outside of Edinburgh than I had understood. My fault though. Price was agreeable. If I stay again I'd rent a car.
