Very Good

Delighted with my stay! Simple but very quiet & clean single en-suite room (No.3 on 1st floor) overlooking the rear garden. Nice selection of breakfast options, pleasant manager(s) with excellent & speedy communication, parking outside, & the ‘Old Town’ within walking distance. Thanks Duncan & Mei: you’ll be my first choice the next time I visit.
Staff was very nice, helped us get our luggage inside and very friendly welcome. Showed us to our room and showed us how to use locks, and let us know to reach out for any help we needed. Breakfast was amazing.
I love my stay here! My room was clean, comfortable and had the most comfortable bed ever! I highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The only decent thing about this place was the breakfast and even then the staff were rude and made us feel uncomfortable by not quite being finished at 9:32. The room was dirty with a layer of dust on everything, the shower mouldy and bad smelling pillows. One of the worst places I've ever stayed in the UK and I definitely will not be returning. Skip this place and play it safe and book a chain hotel
Host was fine, room was sufficient, lousy bed & pillows. Noisy room on main drag.

Enjoyed our visit
Great staff. Room could have done with an overhaul as a bit dated. Expensive due to Tattoo and in city. 30 min walk to the castle.
