There is not a lot I can add to the comments already here. I can only heartily agree that this is truly a wonderful place to stay. Wolfgang, our host, came out to greet us in the beautiful garden when we arrived, and helped us in and up the stairs with our luggage. From the start to the finish of... More

Wolfgang and Josephine are perfect hosts that well beyond what one would expct. Full of warmth, they provided transportation, advise and incomparable breakfasts. We stayed in the room called Fielding and it had great views, was large, quiet and super clean with a great, large bathroom. More

My wife and I stayed one night at the Athole Guest House and wish we could have stayed a week. The hosts, Wolfgang and Josephine, are courteous, helpful, interesting and provide a fantastic brfeakfast with home-made yogurt, home-made pancakes made from scratch, a large assortment of breads and cheeses and the cleanest accomodation we have ever stayed in.

The high level of service we received during our stay was repeatedly above and beyond the call of duty, and ranks amongst the best I have ever experienced. We were recommended some fabulous restaurants, received great advice on what to see and do, and equally importantly which tourist traps to avoid. The room was spacious and comfortable with an excellent... More

in my 40 years of world travel, this is the finest B&B I've ever stayed in. Wolfgang and Josephine are quite affable and go well out of their ways to do things for guests - like picking us up at the train station, driving us to Hertz Rental, etc. I could live there all the time.

We booked this guest house based on all the reviews on Trip Advisor, and we were not disappointed. Wolfgang and Josephine welcomed us into their home and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the Beckford Suite which was large, beautiful and contained everything you could ever need. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had. The menu... More

Nothing to fault about this guesthouse. We stayed in the Beckford Suite and it was a suite. Very spacious, facing the front garden with a bay window and seat. All facilities are first rate. You really are spoilt for breakfast choices with hearty helpings of delicious food. They could not control the weather but did apologise for it. The location... More

A lot of praise on TA for this guesthouse. And rightfully so. The old Victorian House is amazing with its comfortable and pleasant conservatory to sit in and read. There are hundreds of books to choose from. Also relevant ones in your room. The garden looked beautiful, but because of the rain.... The Pope room,socalled "standard" was more than pleasant,...

This is a very comfortable place to stay with every detail taken care of... My only complaint is that Wolfgang and Josephine, wonderful hosts that they are, didn't manage to arrange better weather for us! They provide great breakfasts with every choice you can think of and I'm sure if you do think of anything else they will do their... More

Athole Guest House is a large beautiful home. Our standard room was very roomy with plenty of closet space and desk space. The room and bathroom were totally up to date and clean, clean, clean! Wolfgang made us feel at home. He was very helpful with ideas for places to see and things to do. Breakfast was outstanding with a... More
