Disappointing”

Handsome building, clean, transport makes it easy to access Edinburgh

Booked as a treat for a double birthday treat there was great expectations given the location and the cost. I shall list all of the things which made it a less than enjoyable experience. *Ensuite tiny * Toiletries were left overs from previous guests * 1 small handtowel between 2 * Enough beverages for 1 helping each * Cooked breakfast, minimal helpings of cheap food, fatty bacon, tasteless sausage poor representation of a cooked Scottish breakfast Some of these could have been overlooked if we had felt that the proprietor had actually wanted us there. We found him distant and uninterested eg in response to my comment on the bad weather he replied" well you cant expect everything can you" said without humour and leaving me feeling a bit awkward as I only spoke to him to be polite !It is a pity because the lady of the house did make an effort to be helpful. n conclusion, I do appreciate that it must be a trial to have to listen to trivial observations and it must be hard to be happy at all times I would say MAKE AN EFFORT. Would not recommend it.
