Owner tries hard but that's it..

The owner tries hard but I suspect is struggling. Could be an amazing place but needs a lot of work. In it's present form doubt it would pass a health and safety check. Permanent, permeating all pervasive awful smell probably from old perhaps damp carpets. This is not a 100 pound a night stay however you look at it: halve that and it might make more sense for an overnighter.

A real bed and breakfast experience

Avril offered us a real bed and breakfast experience, meaning we felt like we were invited to stay the night in her home. We had a long interesting chat in the morning. If people want more of a "quick-and-easy" hotel experience, perhaps this is not the place for you. The room was beautiful with view on the sea, the house was very nice: we felt like the time had stopped for a bit which is exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks Avril for making our stay so enjoyable.

Avril is a lovely person with great knowledge about the local area and attractions. The view from the double room is outstanding. There is ample parking and its a very good base. The garden is huge and backs onto a coastal walj so you can access the beach from there. It's a very traditional bed and breakfast. The rooms aren't en-suite which may not suit everybody

Grand old guesthouse set in a beautiful location right on the water front. Walking distance to local amenities too. Great customer service from the owner. Went for the full Scottish breakfast, was great, and huge. More of an older traditional guesthouse, with great history, rather than a modern hotel.

We stayed in aVictorian building and not an hotel. Our accomodation was larger and more grand than any cabin on our 30 years of cruising! We went for an evening wedding, Avril gave us a door key and we walked a few yards to the Seamill Hydro.

Unclean dining area had dirty breakfast dishes and open food in the mid-afternoon. Guest lounge was unavailable for use because it was entirely filled with stored items. Very steep narrow stairs and very tight split-level communal bathroom were entirely inaccessible for disabled patron. Prepayment for three-nights accommodation was retained by proprietor even after disabled guest booked accommodation elsewhere. I would not recommend this place for anyone (disabled or otherwise) to stay. The sharp-tongued proprietor was very unwelcoming!

This place has obviously won awards in the past - but the owner seems to have lost the passion for creating a welcoming, clean and friendly service. The place generally felt grubby and tired. We also requested (and she approved) an early breakfast due to business commitment. The food came for one person 5 mins before we had to leave and the other guest left hungry.

Advertised as dog friendly, yet they kept panicking about the dog and not allowed her into the dining room for breakfast while not allowing her to be left alone in the room. The room was run down, the pipes were making a constant noise, the shower hardly worked. And the best for last, the communal areas and dining room smelled of urine and B.O. All in all the worst place that made someone who has been touring the world - and could never be bothered to write a review - to write his first.

Ideal for an overnight stay

This is an old house and the decor, fittings and furniture is relative to age. The elderly lady that owns the B&B is lovely and caters for the individuals needs. She allowed us to book in early so that we could attend a wedding nearby on time. We also had a full Scottish beakfast and although it was fantastic dont expect quick service as due to her age the lady works at her own pace. This is not a criticism as she made our breakfast to order and we also enjoyed her company as she sat at the dining table chatting wirh us for the duration of our meal.

This property should be closed down, it was in a truly disgusting state of repair. The place has a really bad smell of mould and urine. The owner may be trying her best but I dont believe it should be open for business. The bathroom was filthy, the place is cluttered and most of the carpets and bedding is threadbare.
