Loved our stay here. We were there for the Edinburgh fringe festival so only used the train which was an easy 15 minute walk. Plenty of room and the landlord was helpful. No local shops but we had a car. Could do with bigger double beds as there is plenty of room for them. And some draws to put clothes in like jumpers. My friends enjoyed communing with the cows and rabbits in the meadow !
