The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The Inn only had 9 rooms so it was quiet and very convenient, if you don't mind the stairs!

It doesnt get better! Great staff, great breakfast, beautiful rooms, and the sound of bagpipes coming thru the window. Walkable to everywhere. One of the first stays of our 2 week trip through Scotland, and it spoiled us for everywhere else. We loved it.

Great place to walk around and see the sights. We were heading to the whisky experience and it was an easy walk on the mile. Great cafes and pubs everywhere you look. Very busy with pedestrians so don’t drive of you don’t have to.

Great hotel, in a great location. I actually booked at The Inn on the Mile but was changed to this hotel for some reason. I have no complaints though, it is a beautiful property.
