Lakeview Guest House is located on the seafront in Stranraer, 200 metres from Stranraer Beach. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. It’s a spacious, quiet place to stay. Sadly we were only spending the night before catching our ferry but it does look like a great place to spend a long day just chilling. Breakfast was superb!

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Kingston Guesthouse provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. We stayed at room number 6, at the top floor (no lift). The room was very nicely decorated, everything was new, with a nice window, comfortable bed and amenities like fridge and coffee/tea. Enough plugs everywhere and even usb en usb-c connections. Our bathroom was outside the room, in the same floor, private for us. We didn’t find it a problem that it wasn’t en suite. The bathroom was also new and beautiful, with a window and proper lighting. The property parking was also a good bonus. Really easy connection to the city center by 10-15’ bus, the bus stop was 5’ walk away, safe to walk at night as well. The owners were super friendly, very quick with communication and accommodating. We definitely recommend it!

Set in Ullapool in the Highlands region, Highland Rooms - Room Only No Breakfast has a garden. This guest house offers free private parking and a housekeeping service. The guest house features family rooms. What a gem of a place! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. The rooms are absolutely beautiful - so tastefully decorated, with an eye for detail that speaks of real care and creativity. Every corner holds a thoughtful touch, and everything was spotlessly clean. The location couldn’t be more perfect. Waking up to those views felt like a gift - peaceful, expansive, and breathtakingly beautiful. Whether we were gazing out the window or stepping out to explore, we felt deeply immersed in the beauty of the surroundings. But what made our stay truly exceptional were the hosts. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, they made us feel not just cared for but truly at home. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended - with heartfelt thanks.

Located in Edinburgh within 2 km of Edinburgh Waverley station and 1.3 km of Edinburgh Playhouse, The Room provides rooms with free WiFi. The property is around 1.8 km from Royal Mile, 2.4 km from Royal Yacht Britannia and 2.5 km from National Museum of Scotland. University of Edinburgh is 3.1 km away and Edinburgh Castle is 3.3 km from the guest house. The facilities were new and clean. The gentleman at reception was very polite, friendly, and helpful. He gave us a map and several tips about the city, as well as coffee and cookies while we waited for the room to be ready. Every day, there were brownie-like sweets at reception, and in the room they replenished a bottle of water and a delicious chocolate daily. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and stocked with toiletries, and the shower worked very well (it was large, and the temperature control was excellent). The hotel is well located—25 minutes on foot from Princes Street, with a bus stop just a few steps away. Highly recommended.
