“The location, near Carlton Hill and within a manageable walk of Edinburgh's attractions, is certainly a plus; however, some aspects of the property seem to need attention, like the heating system. I particularly appreciate the private garden, a quiet retreat amid the city bustle; the staff's friendliness also stood out in the information I gathered. With some targeted improvements, this could truly shine.”
