Ihastuttava guest house!

Pros: Sängyt olivat mukavat ja Guest house oli tosi kaunis. Cons: Huone oli vähän kylmä, emmekä saaneet patteria säädettyä.

Fijne uitvalsbasis in Edinbrough

De locatie was top, niet midden in het centrum maar 15 a 20min lopen. Onderweg naar het centrum kom je meerdere restaurantjes en koffiebarrtjes tegen. Het openbaarvervoer is zeer goed geregeld bussen in meerdere richtingen vertrekken om de paar minuten.

Pros: Quiet location within striking distance of the Royal Mile. We were in room three, which is large and pleasant. Plenty of local eateries. Cons: We didn’t see another human in two days at the property; just made it difficult to ask questions. Our room only had a full bed, even though it was plenty big to have a queen. Hot water pressure was very poor. No option for breakfast, were they remodeling in that room? We don’t know, we couldn’t ask anybody.
