Value for Money
6.5

Mixed: some high praise for evening dining (excellent steak), but repeated complaints about average breakfast, overcrowding at breakfast and a very disappointing bar experience.

Generally very positive impressions of the property, atmosphere and grounds, though marred for some by cleanliness, value and food/bar issues; overall experience remains strong for many guests.

Absolutely worth the money
Pros:

Very clean and quiet. Our room was very comfortable and had an amazing view towards the yard. All staff were super friendly. They accommodated for gluten and other food intolerances. We felt welcomed.

Cons:

The breakfast is quite busy in the morning , especially during high tourist season. The coffee could have been better.

We expected better for the price paid.
Pros:

The place is beautiful and welcoming. The room was a good size, the bed very comfortable and the place was clean.

Cons:

There are quite a few things which were disappointing. First of all, guests were loud and there were a lot of doors banging even in the middle of the night. The bathroom was dated - I expected a modern shower not a bath, the toilet was too close to the wall and the door couldn't be left open - no door wedge was handy. There wasn't a hair drier in the room. I expected better from a place such as this.

We had breakfast on the first day, expecting a good one but it was also disappointing. It was very basic for the price paid. The coffee machine wasn't working most of the time but when it worked the coffee wasn't good. When I had tea instead, the tea bags weren't of a good brand and when I asked for hot water, the waiter pointed to where I was supposed to find. The thermos was empty and only after asking again, did I get a teapot of hot water. Although it was around 10, most of the buffet wasn't replenished in time. Waiters were rushed off their feet. On our second day, we went looking for breakfast elsewhere.

Séjour en famille à Edinburgh
Pros:

Emplacement: à l’écart de la ville mais avec Edinburgh à proximité.
Restaurant ok

Cons:

Pas de température réglable dans la chambre, petit déjeuner surpeuplé (attente pour être assis à une table), établissement un peu vieillissant.

Θα μπορούσε να ήταν και καλύτερη.
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία ήταν εξαιρετική και οι κήποι υπέροχοι.

Cons:

Το πρωί ήταν γλισχρο. Δεν υπήρχε ποικιλία σε τυριά, αλλαντικά και στα γλυκά. Παρείχε μόνο κρουασάν, ένα είδος τυριού σε φέτες και μόνο σαλάμι αέρος.
Επίσης το μπάνιο χρειάζεται άμεσα ανακαίνιση, τα πλακάκια ήταν φθαρμένα με μαύρους αρμούς! Και μάλιστα είμασταν σε superior δωμάτιο.
