Dorstan House 3 stars

Newington, Edinburgh

Set in Edinburgh and only 1.9 km from University of Edinburgh, Dorstan House offers accommodation with quiet street views, free WiFi and free private parking. Built in 19th century, this 3-star guest house is within 2.3 km of National Museum of Scotland and 2.6 km of Edinburgh Waverley station. Edinburgh Castle is 3.3 km from the guest house and Edinburgh Playhouse is 3.3 km away. Always friendly communication, helpful and welcoming. Such personal messages make traveling worthwhile! Everything we found in the room matched the description. I liked the breakfast (in the room, as announced), everything was fresh and fine. Parking in the street was easy. A bus stop is nearby, to go to the town centre by bus is more convenient. Once we walked to the centre, which is also fine, but takes 30 mins. For dinner nearby, I recommend Haldi (Mayfield Gardens), exceptional dishes, very nice atmosphere.

Atholl Villa Guest House 4 stars

Pitlochry

Situated in the town of Pitlochry, Atholl Villa Guest House is a privately owned Victorian building, offering views of Ben Vrackie. It has free parking and retains many original features, such as open fireplaces and wooden sash windows. Located on the main street of Pitlorchry, this awesome guest house is so beautiful and we wished we could stay atleast another night. The family room with a double bed and 2 twins was simply the best. It was facing the street and the opposite side has a lovely piece of artwork. They have the best garden of the entire street. The villa is also the best architecturally.

If you had any comments or ideas on how to improve the service, there was a questionnaire on the table. But I didn't need it because everything was going very well for me. Thank you for your hospitality.
