Overall, the property was in good condition and appeared well maintained. Since the check-in process is entirely self-service, I ran into an issue when my key set did not include the main door entrance key. Fortunately, a staff member was available to assist me; otherwise, I would have been locked out. The room had a noticeable moldy smell, and the washroom did not provide any toiletries, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the bed linens and towels were clean, freshly washed, and well presented.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately this property has seen better days. It’s a deteriorating manor house in serious need of TLC. I wouldn’t recommend for other solo female travelers as my door’s lock was shoddy and there’s no in person staff to check you in and assist you if there’s issues. It was overpriced for what it was and I regret not saying in a Premier Inn nearby that would’ve been cheaper, cleaner and better serviced.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was extremely disappointed with the room and bathroom as there was black mould in the bathroom (behind the radiator and a bit in the ceiling) and in the room (behind in the curtain fabric). This is not a healthy environment particularly as I have a young child so very worrying. There was no reception staff to complain to. Also, the hot water sink tap was lose , the window could not be opened to air the room as a large furniture was placed in front of it. I have been to many hotel room thus was one was very poor. Extremely disappointing would not recommend.

The room was clean. Their were no staff. There was a self check in / check out procedure which was easy to follow. Other more regular guests were helpful. There was tea/coffee facilities in room. Kitchen facilities meant food I'd brought could be prepared. Enjoyable stay.

Bedrooms are gorgeous, very close to Edinburgh and other locations. WiFi is very bad could not get any signal, bad smell from people cooking as the kitchen is used by all. Overall I would stay there again.

Great place to stay with kitchen facilities. Room was great and so was the bed, coverings and pillows. Cold room as main heating not on with small heater in room that took the chill off. Water pressure good but getting a hot shower was a challenge but if you tired it right you got one.
