Perfect! Well be back!

It was very welcoming, clean and comfortable.

It didnt bother us, but there are many stairs. Maybe not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Lovely host, excellent breakfast.

Very central close to train station and city centre and facilities. Host was very helpful and breakfast was excellent.

Quite a few steps from the entrance door to accommodation door, 40 or so! Tiny bathroom, near bus station so a little noisy but not too bad.

Where do I start. Murray is the best Scotsman to ever live, from the start he stayed up late to check us in after our delayed flight and then was up early the next morning sorting the breakfast. Then he came through with amazing local recommendations and directions, even at the end helped us with storing our bags before we flew out. Would highly recommend, Murray is a legend!

Nothing that we didn't like

Memorable and fabulous Scottish breakfast

There is no desk in the single room. Would be happy if the tallboy chest of drawers were replaced by a desk
