- Edgardo (10/5): Is good to know your hosts are always aware of your comfort - They are doing a great job remodeling the cottage !!!
I really appreciate the effort and the support
- Tarres (10/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): - Great location and new owner was very welcoming Nothing
- Violetta (10/5): Gemütliches Zimmer mit adäquaten Preis und herzlichen Gastgeber. - Du Lage ist sehr gut. Per Bus und Zug zu erreichen. Wenn man will aber auch per Auto. Parkplätze sind vorhanden.
Das Zimmer ist geräumig und der Gastgeber sehr, sehr freundlich. Er hat mir erlaubt das Zimmer etwas länger zu nutzen am Tag des Check-Outs und ich konnte meinen Koffer darin deponieren, da es keine direkte Folgebuchung gab. Ich habe viele Fragen beantwortet gekriegt und habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt (alleinreisende Frau). Das Zentrum ist zu Fuß oder per Bus erreichbar. Man kann sich nicht verlaufen, da es nur geradeaus geht. Ab hier kann man auch einen Ausflug per Stagecoach nach Culross machen. Nichts.

- Rachael. (4/5): - Easy to find, had all the basic necessities. Clean. Rather old fashioned and tired decor and facilities, nowhere to plug phone charger, the hairdryer was a tiny travel one which was excruciating to dry hair with...no mixer tap in ensuite, and we were very cold , even though the radiator was on.
- Waller (9/5): Homely feeling, comfortable stay and lovely Staff - Friendly welcoming owners. Comfortable in room with all facilities I required. Perfect location for my visit. I had everything I required in my room and just had to ask if there was anything else needed. There was nothing I didn't like. I will definitely be booking again in the near future.

- Chloe (8/5): Lovely stay! - Great location, some lovely original features!
Suzie was super helpful and lovely to talk to!
The facilities were spotlessly clean and the room was made up every day, the WiFi was good and the smart TV was a lovely touch, loved that there were tea and coffee facilities and a fridge for our use in the room too!
The drawers and wardrobes were really spacious and having an ironing board was a really happy surprise as we were staying for a nearby wedding! Nothing major!
The internal walls are quite thin, so you’ll hear people passing/talking etc in the hallways at a decent volume, also some noisy pipes (I assumed, could’ve been something else) which interrupted sleep a little in the mornings, but really didn’t put a dampener on the stay at all, just a minor niggle, would still absolutely recommend!
- Werner (8/5): Sehr gastlich - Es war ein sehr herzlicher Empfang, wir haben uns willkommen und umsorgt gefühlt. Das Frühstück war super und die Tipps des Gastgebers waren sehr hilfreich. Da gibt es wirklich nichts zu meckern Ich würde die Unterkunft immer empfehlen
- Priya (10/5): - Very friendly handy and top hospitality thank you all.
- Sam (10/5): Absolutely perfect. - Lovely warm welcome, comfortable well thought out rooms with lovely extra touches. (Yummy mints!) The place has such a homely feel, you feel instantly relaxed.
Great location, great value for money. I couldn't praise our stay highly enough. It was our 2nd stay here and will always be our first choice.
We also loved meeting Willow (springer) and Winston (pug) Having to leave!!!
- Fitzy (9/5): - Everything Nothing

Comfortable bed, very quiet. Absolutely nothing.
- Dominique (9/5): Charmant cottage - L'accueil de Suzanne et Colin très chaleureux.
Petit déjeuner cuisiné par Suzanne extraordinaire, elle nous a fait gouter le haggis et le black pudding.
Comme c'était notre première étape en Ecosse nous étions ravis.
Logement pratique à l'arrivée pour partir en circuit car seulement à 26 km de l'aéroport.
Lits très confortables. Cottage très typique aussi les équipement ne sont pas ceux d'un hôtel classique.
- rachel (10/5): comfortable - everything but i think the check in times could be better maybe from 3pm and check out 10am early check in would be better but overall very comfortable very clean.
- Wendy (10/5): Comfortable, clean and convenient for airport - Friendly, comfortable and clean - great for early airport check in Nothing
- Micol (7/5): Soluzione in linea con la presentazione - Servizi di un classico B&B: ospiti molto disponibili e colazione buona. Comodo il parcheggio all'interno della struttura. La stanza era un po' fredda... D'altronde, eravamo in Scozia ;-)
- Melanie (9/5): Lovely time. - The couple that run the guest house were lovely during our stay. The rooms are clean and cozy. Breakfast is very nice. For a dinner recommendation, you can also get very good advice on the local restaurants worth visiting. The beds can be a little small if you or your partner are tall.
- margreet (10/5): Redders in nood - Gastvrijheid en behulpzaamheid.
Door pech konden we niet verder. Hoteleigenaar kwam mij halen met de auto en zorgde heel goed voor ons.
- Jane (7/5): Would stay again - Breakfast was very good especially for price.
Wi fi .very quick. Place a little tired
- Kenneth (10/5): A perfect property for the loan traveller, can't comment for couples as I only saw the twin room. - Friendly welcome and shown around, beds extremely comfortable with plenty of Tea/Coffee etc plus full size TV Although a cooked breakfast wasn't an option and only continental provided it wasn't available until 0800. However, I didn't request a breakfast so not sure if I had requested and then asked for an early breakfast if they would have been able to provide
- Nazário (10/5): - Simpatia do anfitrião; excelente pequeno almoço; estacionamento privativo; boa localização a 5 minutos a pé da estação ferroviária. Nada a assinalar.

- Thomas (10/5): Accueil comme à la maison - Accueil très convivial
parking privé gratuit
- Marshall (10/5): Very comfy sleep, very nice people all round amazing stay - Clean and very friendly host
- Dave (8/5): - The room was very quiet and comfortable and I got a great night's sleep, while the cooked breakfast was just the job and plenty of it. The cottage has a pleasant ambience and the hosts were cheerful and helpful.
Clarke Cottage is a short distance from the motorway and East End Park, but I didn't venture into town so couldn't say how handy it is. The shower was a bit on the small side and the extract fan a bit noisy, but that's just an observation, not a complaint.
- Anna-Maria (10/5): -

Thank you to the owners for a warm welcome N/A

A real gem of a place, it's not until you stay you realise that your getting excellent customer service and how much you miss it. Nothing it was exactly what I wanted for my stay.
- Isobel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynn (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Warmest welcome, great accommodation for a business traveller Nothing, highly recommended and will return
- Zoe (5/5): Disappointing and misleading – not worth the price - The staff and the dining room are the only things we liked. We were very disappointed with our stay. The photos gave the impression of a charming, cozy cottage, but in reality, the room was dated, dark, and quite depressing - it felt like stepping into a sad version of the 1980s, with very little updated apart from the TV. The hotel is located right next to an industrial area, which was not mentioned, and this completely took away any sense of peace or charm.
For the price we paid (£130), we expected far better. For the same price, and even less, we stayed in several other places across Scotland during our trip that were incredibly welcoming, tasteful, and great value. (If the host is interested, I’d be happy to share examples for inspiration.) Breakfast was rigidly set at 8 a.m., which is fairly late by UK hotel standards, and although the host agreed to start cooking a few minutes earlier so we could leave at 8:15 to catch our train, she only began cooking at 8.
Overall, the atmosphere, location, and value were disappointing. We felt misled by the listing, which is never a good feeling when you’re travelling. A few simple updates and more transparency could make a big difference.
- Michael (10/5): I’d definitely go back - Everything available including comfortable lounge and onsite parking. Very friendly and helpful hosts with excellent breakfast. For me my room was too close to the road.
- Susan (10/5): Fab location fab breakfast fab owners - Good location for shops the vet hospital is over the road if you have a pet who is receiving treatment overnight. Great breakfast selection great owners. Cosy cumphy room has all you need.
- Peter (10/5): Lovely little Cottage, highly recommend - Lovely Guest house , room was big enough for two people, shower was hot, extra things with tea & coffee, didn’t stay for breakfast. Had a lounge area next to dining area, owners were lovely, bed comfortable, very quite, Nothing
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - It was cozy, comfortable and impeccably clean. The hosts Colin and Susie were sweet, kind, helpful and extremely attentive. Don't miss the breakfast!! The dining area is gorgeous, the berries and meat locally sourced, everything fresh, hot and to order. We left with smiles ❤️6th.
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lankahaluge (10/5): A very cozy stay - It was very lovely and clean. Had everything I wanted hundred percent will stay there again. Very friendly staff and helped me out with everything.
