Exceeded all expectations!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, the staff were so attentive, informative and accommodating. I received local recommendations for food and things to do. We received a complimentary upgrade. Our bags were carried up to our beautifully presented room. You must sit in the garden for drinks, it is so tranquil. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay in the hotel for breakfast. I’m so glad I did! It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences and not to mention absolutely delicious! I will most definitely be booking again. My friend who came with me is coming back this month. An absolute gem in the perfect location.

Cons:

Nothing. My stay exceeded my expectations.

The hotel is absolutely amazing: it's clean, beautifully decorated, the beds are so comfy and the breakfast was exceptional.

Loved it would be my hotel of choice for a mini break in Edinburgh can’t wait to stay again!
Pros:

I had small single room it was perfectly laid out great toiletries and extras and I LOVED having a cafetière and ground coffee available to start my morning plus 2 big bottles of still & sparkling water!

Cons:

For me the artwork wasn’t my thing & if lots of people had been in bar late it would have been noisy it’s an old Georgian pile so not a lot you can do about soundproofing! Hearing doors & other guests.

Pros:

The staff were super helpful and friendly, and the room was lovely. They came with pretty much everything you may need like coffee and tea, a little scrubber, and other things you may have forgotten.
Everything ran really well, and came with clear instructions in case it didn't. And there was always a member of staff around if you need assistance.

Lovely stay.
Pros:

Lovely welcome and shown to the room, staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Great quiet location away from any main roads. Hotel is also an art gallery so lots of lovely art work to look at. The bed was comfortable and the room was reasonably sized.

Cons:

No lift/elevator so if you were in a wheelchair it wouldn’t be accessible. Lots of stairs especially to the top floor. Not the hotels fault but the room next to us were quite loud - loud snoring all night -
