Chose this accommodation because of the parking. Our room (green room) led off from the house owners lounge (so didn’t feel very private) and was really small. A double bed was pressed up to the window with the bins outside same. …

Very basic, small, not very comfortable room for 2 on the groundfloor adjacent to livingroom of the owner. O.K. for 1 night, but not a longer stay.No breakfast, therefor hardly any contact. No chair, nor telly,Nice quiet neighbourhood, carpark beside the house. 5 minutes walk from busstop which is good.

If you are driving in Edinburg this is the best place to stay for a good price! It is inside a house but it so clean, so organised and everything is so new that you fell like you are in a great hotel room! The shower is also great! It’s 10min drive from the city town and a great value for money!
