Suilven

Advertised as a boutique 4* hotel but is not. Very good: ease of booking Good: parking, location Adequate: the cooked breakfast was hot and the eggs poached well. The 4 poster bed was a nice feature. Below par: very limited breakfast options, and the need to decide the night before is very odd and burdensome. The business is in effect a mediocre B&B within a grand old Edinburgh sandstone house - which needs a deep clean and ver considerable repair/refurbishment. Windows are single glazed, have rotten frames and are wedged permanently open so there is a lot of sound pollution from ambulances outside. Bathroom fixtures and fittings old and need upgrading. Overall a mediocre experience

Staff were friendly and gave us a good larger than expected room on arrival which was good. The hotwl is positioned in a very peaceful area. We had a room on the ground floor at the back so there was no road noise but lots of noise late at night when other guests were arriving to their rooms. Walls/floors are thin! The water coming out of the taps and toilet was yellow..not sure why. Bottles of yellow tap water were being served to customers. The menu was not to our taste far too much spicy food. I had to send the corn on the cob back as it was covered in spice. We were then brought a new plain one and were not charged which was good. Can't comment on the cooked breakfast as we only had fruit/continental options.

Very helpful staff and service
