Don't judge a book by it's cover!

Location is great, very easy to get regular buses into the city centre. I had a single en suite room for one night. I'll start with the cons and then give the pros... Cons: - The room is soulless - The bed is super creaky -The TV is tiny and reception was poor on some channels - A mug would be preferable to a teacup - The digital combination locks are clever but they'd be better if they could be silenced as I could hear the ones for other rooms - There's a gap under the door so you can hear people walking and talking Pros: - The room was warm - It's at the rear of the property so no traffic noise - Sockets with USBs next to the bed - Plenty of tea and coffee - The bed was comfy The best? The owners were absolutely lovely! Breakfast isn't served until 8am, which is a little late for business travellers. I thought I'd need to skip it but when I mentioned this I was told I could actually get into the dining room at 7.45am whilst the room was being set up. This was perfect and allowed me to have the cold offerings and coffee - and put in my cooked breakfast order early so it was ready just after 8am! The breakfast was lovely - far better than the big name chains I usually stay at. The bread for toasting was good quality and had a seeded option, and the bacon was cooked exactly as I'd asked. In fact, I ate far more than I would usually!! When I was leaving I was met with a huge wave and wished well for my day. On balance it was an enjoyable experience!

Nice room in a nice place conveniently located

Our stay here was great. The owners were available to advise on parking, shopping and restaurants. The nearby pub, the Old Bell, was a short walk and served good food and drink. There was also an Indian food restaurant that was excellent. All was good with our room. Parking is tight and requires 2 rows so the second row cars need to leave contact info (room no/name) if they need to move for a first row car to leave. Bus stop was very near and took us right to the Royal Mile, the Day Pass is a great option. Note that are several different room options, we had room 8 on the 2nd floor (level 1 in EU) lots of room and an ensuite bathroom.

Enjoyed our visit

Great staff. Room could have done with an overhaul as a bit dated. Expensive due to Tattoo and in city. 30 min walk to the castle.
