The host were absolutely amazing people! Properties were clean and beautiful! Has a beautiful view and not to far from the banks of Loch Lomond(5min) and not to far from the highlands! Also very close to Glasgow! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Next trip to Scotland will be staying again!

We are a family of 4 traveling through 4 countries for 2 weeks. This was our favorite! Upon checkin, Alan met us and showed us to our room. He was so friendly and welcoming. We had the family suite. It was so beautiful and comfortable! Each kid had their own twin bed, and they loved it! Windows opened to hear the seagulls and cars below, and let in the cool sea breeze. There was plenty of space to move around. The bathroom was very clean and perfect for us. We ordered the full breakfast the next morning - what a delight! Elaina was very nice and made sure we pronounced “Edinburgh” correctly before leaving, haha! This place is walkable to everything in town you’d want to see. We hope to visit again one day.

This is a fantastic place. The owners are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The space is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. It's a great spot to explore the area from or to stay before heading off on the ferry nearby. Definitely a great stay!

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located and easy to find. The staff were exceptionally courteous, even going so far as to call ahead and confirm the check-in time, as well as suggest dining options. The breakfast was delightful, offering a wide variety of options to choose from.

Easy parking and Elaine was such a kind and gracious host. The property was snug and very charming. Everything was impeccably clean and nice. We were leaving too early for the standard breakfast time so she went out of her way to put things out for us. It was just like home!
Rodney’s garden was also beautiful outside the window!
