More of a flat/apartment for rent than a guest house. Very old boilers and heaters, one of the heaters only turns on if you turn the thermostat to 80⁰ F, but then turns off anywhere under 80⁰ F. Water pressure in the showers are horrible. Some doors in my flat just open out of no where. But besides all of that, it's a great places to stay if you're just visiting.

Paid 78 pounds for 2 nights, which was much cheaper than everywhere else around the Haymarket area. Room comfortable, clean. New bathroom.  …

Really disappointing stay and poor experience. Arrived at the property around 5pm (check-in available from 3pm) to find the beds unmade, no bath towels or sheets. Called owner who assured me cleaners would be over in 10mins to sort out. …

A good 2* guesthouse, with a brand new bathroom and beds. The rooms look a little Spartan, With no bedside tables or lamps. But they are clean, the staff friendly, and overall a good price for the location.||I would probably stay again.

Wouldn't describe as a 'guesthouse' more an apartment for rent. Could have been cleaner and some of the beds in the larger room were broken/very uncomfortable but there was plenty of space. Good for hen/stag.

Really disappointing stay and poor experience. Arrived at the property around 5pm (check-in available from 3pm) to find the beds unmade, no bath towels or sheets. Called owner who assured me cleaners would be over in 10mins to sort out. An hour an a half later, the cleaners show up and stand outside the property smoking for about 10 mins!Oven works intermittently, as does the ensuite shower. Apartment run down and in need of a refresh.Messaged owner making him aware of all of the above and requesting some money back on the original amount paid - he didn't even have the courtesy to respond back to me. Clearly couldn't care less about receiving another bad review.
