Everything was great, staff was super friendly and caring. The contact with hotel was quick and great. They waited for us to arrive late and answered all the questions. Also there are discounts for local cafes. Bed was not super big but very comfortable. Coffee, tea and water in the price.

we absolutely loved the guesthouse. We stayed in room 3 for our trip to see Taylor Swift in concert in Edinburgh and the bedroom was beautifully decorated, comfortable and cozy. We really enjoyed the snacks provided and had a great time.

Room was very comfortable, had everything we needed. Bathroom was exceptionally well kept. Owner met us on arrival gave us a quick run down of the house rules and left us to it, which was appreciated. Door had a lock on it, which allowed us to have the security of locking the room on leaving for the day.
