Our host Ali was wonderful. He was so helpful and courteous. The only reason dining was a 7 due to the fact it was a mostly prepackaged continental breakfast that was the exact same for three days. The outstanding service made up for the breakfast!

Great service.

Outdated room.

spacious family room

convenient location

The family room was super spacious, and cleanliness was great. It's just a quick bus ride to the city, or you can take an affordable uber, especially if you're in a group. Nearby convenience stores are only about a 10-minute walk away.

Spacious family room with a lovely garden view. Definitely a lot of stairs, which might be tough for some. Convenient bus stop outside. Inconsistent comfort with beds. Pillows need replacing.

dated bathroom

We had a lovely time here, especially enjoying the cozy hot tub and the quaint garden seating which made for perfect relaxation spots. The room was comfortable, but the bathroom could use a bit of sprucing up to match the charm of the rest of the place. I'd recommend taking some time to unwind in the garden if you visit! 😊

Charming Stay with Wonderful Hosts

The location was peaceful, and we loved having a garden view with Arthur's Seat in the background. The daily tray with tea, coffee, and biscuits was a lovely touch, and the hosts were friendly and always available to assist. The stairs might be an issue for those with mobility concerns.

Our room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, complete with a good shower. The lovely garden view featured Arthur's Seat in the background.
