We stayed here during the Winter, which was colder and darker than we expected. The heat was turned off at night in this place and it was cold. I am a pretty hearty person, too, yet I was uncomfortable. The rooms were old and had few amentities, though were clean. The bus ride into Edinburgh was not too long. However this place felt remote. We enjoyed meeting people in the neighborhood though and one pub down the street was a blast, and very friendly.
