Quaint little place, shabby chic style. Everything there you would need, nice courtyard, great location. "Reception" is in the shop and closes at 5pm, though no bother as they leave instructions for you. Only downside is no breakfast.Would probably stay again though.. More

I booked this guest house for my daughters 21st birthday as a suprise. They couldn't have gone out their way more. Staff were brilliant and did a perfect job of decorating the room for our arrival. They even left a complimentory present for my daughter, which was a nice touch. I have stayed here many times in the past and... More

We spent two nights at this hotel/guest house and it was a very pleasant experience. The rooms are small but delightful everything you could want. The location is very good right in the old town it gets a thums up. More

Stayed at this accommodation for 3 nights in room one(with the brass bed). It was uncomfy as it was an old fashioned sprung bed. Rooms are ok, yes small but quaint. The bath wasn't very clean. You could literally hear a pin drop so the best advice I can give is bring earplugs. The conversations we heard were intriguing and... More

We stayed in the room with the white four poster bed. It was really lovely decorated, small but perfectly formed. The location is fantastic. Would definitely recommend. More

We stayed here for one night on our retun from Edingburgh and it was a sheer delight. We had a room with a four poster bed and a corner bath. Although the room was 'compact and bijou' it was so charming we fell in love with it. The location is superb as you are on the quaintly cobbled Church Street... More

We had a mid week break and stayed in the cottage and had breakfast in the adjacent restaurant. The cottage was clean and tidy and breakfast was excellent. The gentleman owner was very helpful. More

really enjoyed our stay here - the staff were helpful and the location excellent. it's bit flimsy - the curtain rail fell down on closing the curtains - but was fixed straight away and flushing the toilet was a bit of an art form - it's also very easy to hear everything your neighbours say and do! however it was...
