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.

Affordable accommodation with free parking. Many pubs around for a drink. Spacious room and ok breakfast. Toilet kept running. Apparently they knew, but they hadn’t bothered to fix it. Found three long hairs in both the room and the bathroom.

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!

the room is dusty, and noisy as facing the main road and i had to keep window half opening to get fresh air. the room and stairs are also smelly.
The good part of the house is not far from city center.

Meget glad og imødekommende vært, der lod os få vores værelse før tid.
Meget behjælpelig med al oplysning og booke taxi til lufthavnen.
Kan varmt anbefales!
