Nicely decorated and contemporary, however this property rates lowest in our experience in Scotland over 3 weeks of numerous guest houses/BnB’s for the following 2 reasons.
1) on street parking. Advertised as paid on street parking during day/free overnight. However parking is limited to 4 hours at a time during the day (with 1 hour no return) and cost 23GBP for the 4 hour privilege. Coins only, no cash or card. There is an App however it cannot be downloaded from Apple App Store, the link in the website to access the app is also broken. So you’re left with paying with coins or calling a phone number with an IVR service that struggles with accents. This process impacted our planning and we were 10 mins late once and we copped a charming 100GBP fine.
2) heating, we would rather pay more and have access to fully control thermostat. House was cold on the predetermined settings and the “30 minute boost” we were allowed to activate was not sufficient to keep the house warm, especially when returning from a day or evening out. Every other place we stayed at over 3 weeks did not have this limitation.
Other than these challenges, the house was nice, well appointed and a quiet street close enough to the action of old and new town. So would ideally suit someone who doesn’t have a car to manage.
