When we arrived our room had been double booked. It was late evening. No staff at the premises. When I called they realised their error. They gave us a different room but we had to wait 45 minutes, and go to their sister property (nice but under development).
We found this stay very convienient and appreciated the early check in! Coffee and tea was restocked while we were out for the day which was a happy surprise.
Good stay, older property guest house. No breakfast but local coffee shop really good.
Very helpful with a late check in made keys available with the intercom.
Would stay there again.

Nice area
Bigger than expected bedroom and bathroom, easy check in and out, nuce area
Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue.
We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated.
5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi.
Would definitely stay again

Not a bad place to stay. Very helpful staff.
Only downside was the room (6) needs redecorating, water stains on the ceiling and the tiling finish on the walls makes it look like a big bathroom! Has a separate, private bathroom, which was very nice, tho we prefer ensuite as it's a pain getting up in the night and creeping about trying not to disturb other guests. Had to be careful not to leave the keys in the bathroom as you need them to get back into the room.
Nice clean room, comfortable, lovely shower.
Ring camera entry a bit of a faff.

The location and room were great, right on the bus line into town, but check in by ring camera not so much

Beds were hard as a slab of granite and very uncomfortable. Small bathroom was ok even though door wouldn’t open all the way for the bed and no restaurant as advertised on site.
Nice room... small, but more than enough for one person. Bathroom was very modern. Good TV options. Nice bed. No lobby. Only issue was manager was not there during check-in. It created an issue, but otherwise it was fine.
Though the attractions are not in walking distance, the bus stop is nearby and the place is quiet, safe , and clean with lovely responsive staffs.

Due to a mix up with Expedia, this booking was supposed to be replaced by another but it was not cancelled. Even though we never stayed there the owner still charged us the full price and didnt even offer a partial discount.
Very comfortable, very clean, well run establishment. Excellent location. Room only which suited us. Plenty teabags milk and coffee which was appreciated
We had a lovely refurbished new room very nice, I haven’t stopped talking about it and recommending it to others!! I will definitely be staying there again Thankyou Arrandale for letting us stay at your beautiful home x
