    There is a Pod tea/coffee facility in the room. I would prefer an ordinary kettle and tea / coffee.

    Very comfortable, warm and relaxed. Good local location and fine breakfast. Very good value as travelled for work.

    No negatives. Our stay was wonderful.

    This beautiful guest house is at a fabulous location; it's very close to city centre and also to the railway station. Lyn and Lee are fabulous hosts; they are so very kind and welcoming. Everything at the guest house had a personal touch to it... With everything being personally handled by them,... This was inclusive of the Breakfast served which was super delicious. Overall we were very impressed by the arrangements at the guest house and would highly recommend it to everyone.

    Only issue in bedroom was the heavy duvet, would be fantastic in colder weather though. Also, tea maker was a bit difficult to finally get our heads round.

    Breakfast was excellent. Location was very good, however exit on to A96 was difficult. Staff were very friendly and the room was most clean and comfortable. All in all a most comfortable and welcoming g stay. We will have no hesitation in returning to this guest house

    A stunning property and a lovely place to stay. A warm welcome from the off and presented with a cosy, well furnished, on suite room, we couldn't have hoped for a better stop off on our trip further North. Parking is limited but free, which is always a bonus. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, with a good choice. Location to the town centre is good and we had a lovely walk along the river, passing the Catherdal ruins into town in about 15 minutes. The hosts, Lyn and Lee were an absolute pleasure, thank you both for a very pleasant stay.

    Beautiful old house, spacious room, great breakfast and large and quiet lounge room we could use to read a book (or watch television). Friendly and hospitable couplet that run the place. Attention for sustainability (electricity, towels, etc.). Best stay during our three weeks trip in Scotland.

Lovely breakfast in the morning with a good selection to choose from. Additionally, the property is close enough to walk into town for evening meal.
