Loved by Averon Guest House guests
"The most fun part though, was the Scottish music every evening in the front room!"
"The house itself is old and it's interior layout looks just like it was built, so as an added bonus you get to experience how living in a several centuries old home feels like!"

unclean carpetslimited breakfast
The room felt quite dated. The breakfast choices seemed limited. Only cereal, toast, and slices of cheese were available. I also noticed the carpets seemed visibly unclean! The ensuite was very small. It was hard to move around. I think some updates could improve the stay.

a cozy stay with music
convenient locationfriendly staffmusical interludebasic breakfast
i stayed in a double room ensuite for two nights and found it quite pleasant. the location was convenient, a short walk to the royal mile and other sites! the staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions for local attractions. alan's evening musical interludes were a highlight, a charming touch with scottish songs and videos.
the breakfast was quite basic. it included cereal, toast, and some fruit! while adequate, a bit more variety would have been appreciated.
