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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

Not worth the money

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

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.

The lighting outside the main entrance is non existing. Makes it difficult to see the code you're trying to put on the lock that has the key. The door is equally difficult to open once you have the key. Hot water was not available after a few people may have showers in other rooms. Soap not in dispensers. Although i was told that it will be sorted out the next morning... the next afternoon when i questioned why it was still not sorted out... i was then told that no soap is provided anyway. The driveway needs to be cleared of any debris that may fall, which in my case was a lot when i was arriving. And still the next day was not fully cleared. I guess the owners are trying to make it self sufficient but in all honesty a person on the property to help out will make the stay more efficient. I wont go back.
