Anniversary getaway

This was the perfect place for us to stay to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! Our furst visit to Edinburgh and Scotland! Bed so comfy and place warm and homely. Only issue was the oven wouldnt turn on and rhe plug sockets at one end of kitchen didnt work....suspect a fuse was out but we just plugged kettle in a socket in lounge! We didnt cook and just ate out and got takeaways. Was only a short stay so didnt want to bother the owner. Good location, went to a rooftop bar at one end of road and got pizzas from a place opposite. This was great vaue in comparison to a premier inn. We would stay again! Thank you for allowing us to stay in this charming pottery!

Auld Pottery

Great location to walk to the popular sites and close to the grocery store. We cook all our meals so a working kitchen is important. The kitchen equipment was lacking and consisted of bits and pieces. The torch to light the gas cooktop was glitchy. The shower door was challenging to place correctly and there isn’t much room. Hot water wasn’t really hot. The bathroom didn’t work most of the time. The staircase was doggie and the treads are smooth and slippery. I had a slip when going down stairs in the middle of the night and bruised my toe badly. The place is cold and damp and the heating doesn’t seem to work. Our clothes took 2.5 days to dry. The place could use an upgrade.

No communication

The property itself is meh. Not 4 star not terrible, location fine, but no hot water. Owner didn't reply until the next morning as we were literally checking out. We asked for instructions regarding parking and for an email to be resent with checking in info. That never happened. So had to call about parking. Was told free parking on street on weekends Nope. Got a £60 ticket. Only free Saturday night. Owner was no help in telling us where to park. Railing has loose and missing rails, water never fully drained from shower and the street noise was incredibly loud. Our stay over a pub in Stirling was not remotely as loud. Would not recommend....would love a refund for parking ticket and no hot water......

Bel appartement près du centre-ville, Melanie nous a répondu vite et nous avons pu déposer nos bagages plus tôt! Faites juste attention à l’électricité dans la salle de bain et à la laveuse.
