We booked six rooms in this guest house to visit the tattoo. There were bed bugs in room 2, we even brought some home in our hair and suitcases. The family room (No. 10) had a very dirty kitchen, we had to keep the door closed as the smell was unbearable. The baths were extremely dirty and stained (imagine the... More

Do not stay unless you want to itch for weeks. I have travelled to over 25 countries and the bites exceed 60!! They were friendly, but I am not sure how it can be so bad! More

I stayed at Acorn Lodge for 1 night with some friends. When we arrived, we were greeted by Allan who was very cheerful and polite. He took us down to the basement to the family room (3 single beds) where we were instantly hit by a foosty, damp smell. Just off the bedroom is a small kitchen which was absolutely... More

My family (partner and partner's sister) and I decided to visit Edinburgh on a whim during the festival season.

We got to the room and instantly knew... More
