8.0
"It is worth staying here just to see the galleried library lounge, not to mention the eccentric atmosphere, period features, generous breakfasts and excellent value for money." Full review
Independent
"27-room boutique B&B: it’s away from the city buzz on a purely residential street of Georgian townhouses. But it far exceeds the expectations of a regular B&B with a full complement of quirks."
Frommer's
"Each floor has a different color scheme, beds are comfy, furniture funky, and some have freestanding baths...views at the back—of pretty Dean Village to the Forth and hills of Fife—are equally good. " Full review
