Room was very clean, we had a large room and lovely bathroom. Bed was very comfortable, breakfast was great, really enjoyed the fresh berries, staff were very friendly and were as helpful as possible.
The TV didn;t work for the whole of the weekend, and the electricity in the room was faulty. Although the staff did try to fix the problem, we had to put up with no electricity in the room for the whole weekend. The faulty also damaged some of our things.

The prompt and efficient way in which the heating problem in our room was dealt with. The helpfulness of the young man on reception, his knowledge of the area was good, he volunteered to carry our luggage to our room at the top!

The bed in my room was incredibly comfy, making it the highlight of my stay, and I loved the free parking, which was super handy. I really enjoyed unwinding in the lovely garden area and taking some time by the rooftop terrace. It would have been nice to have a coffee shop on-site since I arrived early and didn't have anywhere to grab a quick bite. ☕

The location is decent, just a 20-minute stroll to the centre, and breakfast served fresh fruit and haggis, which was good. The room was cozy, but somewhat cramped. A bit disappointing that there was no lift for my luggage, but the staff were very attentive and helpful throughout my stay.

Nice Stay with a Cozy Vibe
The bar area was nice, and breakfast was tasty. The staff were super friendly and helped us out a lot. Just a bit bummed that our room was more like basic student digs than the charming old building we expected. Still, it was clean and comfy for a night.
