Overpriced and underwhelming
Overpriced and underwhelming, small room had problems locking doors. No parking available on-site only 3 parks for 20 rooms and needed to park on street. Noise from other rooms consistently both next door and above us. Breakfast room was storage room for extra bedding and not inviting and their was no breakfast available.

It is charming in some ways but the service was minimal.
Because it is fat from the center of town, the inn might take this into consideration in its breakfast options.
Only dry cereal, and no bowls or spoons visible.
No coffee, just instant powder in the room. Only black tea, no herbal alternative.
Also, there was none in hand to greet guests or assist them.
It has some lovely potential but could use an upgrade in hospitality.
Not a good experience; the bed was not fit for 2 people to sleep especially when it’s banked against a wall. Tight small area to move about. Extremely claustrophobic; uncomfortable nights sleep - small fan would have helped. No hot water the first day and couldn’t have a shower in the 1st night. We had to have a cold shower. Had to wait 10 mins to enter property for checkin. The phone numbers displayed was not answered. Luckily the number on the app was replied. Very different to what the property promoted.

Mauvais rapport qualité - prix en août
Chambre et salle de bain petites mais propres, et avec une literie correcte. Quelques désagréments (eau chaude aléatoire, store non fonctionnel…), mais surtout un tarif extrêmement élevé en août, qui n’était en rien justifié par la qualité fournie.
Easy to access, bustop right outside. It took 25 min to Edinburgh by bus. Our room (with private bathroom) was clean and nice. It was kind of thin walls though, we could all hear each other. We were only there for 3 nights, but we would recommend it!

Modern room
Host friendly when we arrived. No parking - only had 3 cars on front. Could park our car for free across the road. Believe was a school car park. We entered the building from a side door to the new part of the building. On entrance was tea/coffee making facilities for all of the room (think 6 rooms?)Room new, modern and well decorated including bathroom. Room (20) not huge but adequate for 2 nights. Was at the front of the building so had to shut the window in the early hours because of traffic noise. Bus stop very close and easy to get into Edinburgh. I would book again.
Standard b&b. Good stay for the price. We were comfortable and taken care of. Early check in was allowed for 30 euros. Handful of breakfast options including porridge and cereal. No running water to wash anything in the kitchen area. Grocery store not far away. Transit was easy to get into the city. Just took about 20 minutes or so depending on traffic. Overall good stay and great way to see a bit more of daily life outside of the busy city centre.
I won’t stay there or recommend it to anyone. The noise from adjoining rooms, common area and outside was frustrating,
The room was small and no room for cases
The TV only had movie streaming, no tv channels
There was not enough car parking for the rooms and relied on stack parking who’s is not functional

It's a bit shabby and the electric socket hanging by a wire from the wall made us worry it is unsafe
Their listing said daily housekeeping. We stayed for 3 nights and did not have any housekeeping. You can catch multiple busses right out front but there are limited options close by. There is a nice grocery store within a block. The majority of the closest restaurants are near the beach which is 15-20 min walk. The proximity to the beach is nice though.
