The Dundonald Guesthouse & Cottage

The Dundonald is absolutely beautiful. Laura has filled the house and experience with so much considerate detailing from lit candles in the evening to lovely lighting and soft furnishings which brings a real sense of calm and relaxation. Laura and the team are so warm and welcoming and give you space to enjoy the house whilst remaining on hand and attentive should you need anything.

I couldn't find anything not to like!

Probably one of the best B&B i have ever stayed. The rooms, the location, the breakfast, the personal approach ... We were there for two nights to visit Edinburgh, could have stayed there for a week.

Location is beautiful and the cottage breakfast was lovely maybe a few more options for the children but still healthy but maybe that was just my girls and other family members.

The pillows was a bit too chunky one was not enough, but 2 was too high maybe lower price as I would like to stay longer had it being lowered

The food was artistic, satisfying and appropriate for the location. The bed and bath were comfortable and easy to use and we especially appreciated having a top sheet on the bed. The staff was fantastic.

The door locks were a bit cumbersome. Locking ourselves in with a key seemed like a hazard in an emergency situation.

If you like living in an interior decoration magazine this will suit you, but style did not deliver comfort. Very small bedroom severely reduced by inserted shower room, left barely room to move round the bed. Shower very cramped and difficult to use - style overcame utility. Two ridiculously unusable 'chairs' and a bedside table with a bowl instead of a level top - again style rather than practicality. No room for any wardrobe, only wall hooks by the door, and where did you put a suitcase ? Thank heaven for the downstairs lounge, again every item chosen and placed with amusing precision but at least had comfortable chairs. This and breakfast served by a delightful local woman were the only saving features. We say this with regret, and have never had to be quite so uncomplimentary, but unless you do like style rather than a good night's accommodation this is not for you, and at literally twice the price of our next excellent stay.

Sadly, nearly everything.
