It was very nice except for 2 things: 1."free parking" means free on the street not at the property.Challenging for right sided drivers and tiny streets. 2. Internet very sketchy and drops continuously requiring continous re signing on and sometimes computer restarts. They are aware. Other than that, really nice place.

Quaint and comfortable
This was a nice little place and the room was very clean and spacious and comfortable. Parking was down the street but we were able to drop luggage and pick up luggage right out front. The only complaint I have was the same complaint I have about every place I’ve stayed on my trip to Scotland - lots of twists and turns and stairs and cobblestones with my luggage.
