Independent - accommodation in Marchmont

The location is really nice, great view and being on a farm. I normally don’t leave bad reviews, especially when the host has been friendly. To be honest, the stay wasn’t great mainly due to cleanliness and basic setup. It feels like the cleaning and preparation aren’t properly checked. Not sure if this is run by a third party, but if so, the cleaner didn’t do the job properly. When we arrived, 1. most bathroom items like hand wash and body wash were empty with only a bit of shampoo left, 2. the toilet wasn’t properly cleaned, you can still see the residue in toilet. 3. towels on the bed were still damp, dryer not working? 4. the exhaust fan was dusty, and 5. only half a roll of toilet paper was provided, which I’ve never seen in other accommodation . There’s also a label saying tap water is not drinkable, but only one 1.5L bottle of water was provided. We had to grab extra from the car if wanna boil some water. At night it gets very cold. The aircon works for heating but is very loud in such a small space, making it hard to sleep. Overall it feels more like a basic camping setup. Fine if you’re used to camping, but at over a night I expected something cleaner and more comfortable. At this price, it didn’t feel like a relaxing or romantic stay.

Well priced and the rooms well appointed. Restaurant options covered the bases and also well priced. Staff very courteous.

Clean room bathroom stinks
