L'établissement est charmant ainsi que le bord de mer. L'échange avec le propriétaire est très enrichissant. Merci encore pour la recommandation de la route de retour vers Edimbourg. Cela valait le détour.

"OK but expensive."

The room was cold being North facing, even though it was the hottest day of the year.

The bathroom and bedroom were very cold.

"Horrible, it spoiled 3 days of our holiday- just a waste of money"

Nothing.Made unwelcome. Door closed in my face by manager as I attempted to leave my room. I was told off for when I had to get the manager to open the door to let me back in at 21.10. He said "I should have taken my wife in earlier and kept the key on me when I left the house after so I could get back in". At no stage prior to this was I told that the entrance would remain locked all day and night. The manager also told me at 21.10 that I should not get him out of bed to let me in. At no stage was he polite and he made us unwelcome as soon as we checked in and throughout our stay. He appeared to not care about the way he treated his clients. Bed and Breakfast used to be Bed including Breakfast - he told us as soon as we met him the costs of breakfast in a manner that was unwelcoming and that was all he seemed to care about telling us.

Our room was beautiful and spacious with a very comfortable bed. A lounge had been placed directly in front of the large windows in our room so we could sit, relax and enjoy the views. Our host was warm, helpful and generous

"Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, great breakfast. Very helpful and friendly host Chris made the stay complete. No hes"

8.0

Clean, traditional characterful older house. Spectacular views of the bay and sunset.

Only slight negative was the very poor WiFi which was not good, depending on your position in the room. This would be 10/10 if not for this, so if it’s a dealbreaker then you should be aware beforehand. To be fair, the hosts acknowledge this in the information booklet so it would be unfair to judge them too harshly as this may be beyond their control.
