Dont let all the fuss about this place being outdated fool you! Is it an old building? Yes! But the inside is perfectly up to date, and the rooms are lovely! Comfortable beds, AMAZING shower, spotlessly clean surfaces. And everyone gushing about the breakfast is hardly doing justice to the feast delivered straight to your room in the morning (on the cutest little cart, no less). Virginia and her husband (whose name escapes me, my apologies) were exceptionally warm and welcoming, and the do a fabulous job running the place. Its also perfectly located and has nice views of the harbour, especially at sunrise. I enjoyed my stay here immensely, and the low price for such a lovely spot was the icing on the cake.

Positive points...friendly staff, comfy bed, quiet overnight, adequate shower, clean bedroom, accomodating of our dog, lovely big breakfast....I was still full 6 hours later! Not so positive. The B&B, outside of the bedroom looks like it needs a really, good spruce up and modernisation. However it is worth bearing in mind that this is a Bed and Breakfast, both of which were perfectly adequate for our one night stay before travelling on to Orkney. If you just want somewhere to lay your head, it will do fine.

This place was a mistake of a booking. From the minute we arrived we couldn't wait to leave. The over pervasive smell of stale grease greets you as you walk through the broken front door. We was shown to our room by the landlady who coughed all the way round showing us to our room. The b&b is way passed dated from the decor, bedding, and stains on the carpet brought to mind an episode of CSI. The mould in the shower and rust on the towel rail and toilet brush holder in the bathroom did not invite the use of the shower. We left as early as we could the next morning as breakfast served in your bedroom at the smallest of tables in the window was not a prospect we relished. The carpet in the stairway that leads you up to your room didn't look like it had seen a vacuum in a month of Sundays and the cctv on each floor gives me the idea that they have had a few non payers! As you say 'you live and learn' we will chalk this one up to experience, but an experience we wish never to repeat.
