My family and I stayed here for one night on our way up to the Highland Games. It was in a nice area and the family suite was wonderful and suited our needs. However, the person who checked us in wasn't very friendly and didn't want to be bothered. We were pretty much left on our own to find everything.

We were told to fill out our breakfast requirements and turn the form in to the front desk, which we did. When we went down for breakfast the next morning, they had not prepared ANY of the hot dishes we requested. We were given toast and cereal.

The tiles in the bathroom were coming up and needed to be replaced.

I would only recommend this hotel for a short stay.

How did you actually book the reservation? After the initial contact, the B&B refuses to answer emails or confirm the reservation. They took my credit card information but refuse to confirm the reservation. Will we have a place to stay? Have they gone on holiday, shut down, been closed by the Scottish Tourist board?

We had stayed here before so thought we knew what to expect but we were disappointed. There was no vegetarian breakfast option, the cooked breakfast that remained as an option was invariably greasy, the mushrooms appeared to be tinned rather than fresh and, all in all, it was not particularly good.

The room was a resaonable size but badly needed redecorating. The feeling about the whole place was that no-one cared any longer. Perhaps the previous owners were perfectionists, hence our disappointment, but it was not the treat we had expected.

  • Liked — Quite like the West End and the free parking!
  • Disliked — The food and the shabby decor.

Management response from Hughenden, Manager
(Management representative)
Jul 9, 2007
I would like to comment on the review below from someone in Barcelona.

I would like to know if it was The Town House in Hughenden Terrace or Royal
Crescent they stayed at?

As I am the manager at Hughenden Crescent and would be extremely shocked if he
was refering to our hotel. We have had the same owner for the last 10 years and
we take great care to ensure our guests leave here with a feeling fof having a
great stay here.

Our breakfasts are always fresh and nothing comes out of a tin, we use all local
produce and if a guest informs us on booking that they require special dietry
requirements we would attend to that also.

If indeed it was the Town House at Hughenden Terrace I would have expected the
guest to inform myself of the problems at the time and they would have been
remedied immediately.

Regards

We just returned from a stay at The Town House. We were there for five nights in total, two upon our arrival from the states, and three after some travel in the Highlands and Scandanavia.

The location is excellent, within walking distance of the University and the West End. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. We had beautiful views of the garden each time. The staff is friendly, helpful and go that extra mile. And, breakfast will brighten your day and fill your tummy! We highly recommend The Town House.

We stayed here in September 2006, and enjoyed our stay. The guest house is located in the West End - near the University. It seemed to be a very quiet residential area, but is a short walk from the main drag. The building itself has nice character (lots of wood molding, printed wallpaper, super-high ceilings) and the rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was decent. Staff was friendly and helpful, even allowing us to use their computer and living room after checkout time when our rental car fell through. We'd be happy to return here!

  • Liked — Character of the building/quiet area
  • Tips/Secrets: — Make dinner reservations - most places fill up
