This was our first (and second) night in Scotland, and we were very happy with our room and the warm hospitality. Breakfast was great, and we loved looking out into the garden while we ate.

I had 4 nights at the Laurels Guest House in room number 1. It is quiet as all the rooms are on the rear of the building and they are on ground level, similar to attached bungalows, It is so easy to move all suit cases to your room as there is a separate entrance door to the side of... More

We stayed there in July 2011. Jewelry was stolen out of our room. After filing a police report we did get our jewelry back. Owners refuse to answer emails for information that would help police investigate!!! Would recommend from my experience to stay somewhere else.
