A very warm welcome from Ruary and Aileen at this guest house. Would definitely recommend and would return. About 15 - 20 mins walk to Waverley Station and also very close to bus routes if you prefer. A nice selection at breakfast and you will be made to feel "at home" from when you arrive.

You can take the 10 11 15... More
