Eglinton Country Park

Great place to stay for lay overs at Edinburgh!

Before you read this review, we are not fussy people and can usually make the best of any situation. We are not able to get away very often so were looking forward to a relaxing 3 nights away. We stayed one night, and only because we arrived at a late time and could not find alternative accomodation, and then we left first thing the next morning The apartment was nothing like the photos. I think the photos must have been taken a VERY long time ago when everything was new. Furniture and sofa looked very very old and grubby. It was really cold and smelled musty and damp. The heating wasn't working and the two small electric radiators made no difference at all. The cookware was old and scratched and the glasses, cups and crockery were mismatched and poor quality. The two single beds pushed together were at completely different heights with the most uncomfortable mattresses we've ever slept on. The curtains in the bedroom did not close properly and the view from the window was of old materials and rubbish. There were no staff on site and, when we rang the property contact number we were offered another apartment which was in many ways worse! Leaky shower, flashing bulbs and a room with 4 single beds with only one chair. For the price charged we would at least expect it to be clean and comfortable which was not the case. We were so disappointed and it ruined our rare weekend away.
