Guest reviews

The location was fantastic. Couldn’t have picked a better spot. Staff on arrival were very helpful and friendly. We were lucky to get an early check-in that made our day activities go ahead smoothly. Breakfast was included and it was excellent. We tried the Scottish breakfast.

It was good to have parking, but after playing a premium price for the room, £20 on top for the parking.

No a/c. Noise from the local restaurants. Maybe not in August next time.

Noise from street at night, since rooms overlook busy street/entertainment district. Closing the windows helps a bit.

Loved the view of the castle! It was well worth it!

Parking was hard to find. But we managed ok. I’d say it was more our fault than anything else due to being new to driving on the left hand side.
