L'appartement Crichton par National Trust Scotland

Wonderful stay! Positive: Really cool apartment with interesting history and an excellent location.

Wonderful. Positive: We were prepared for the stairs and just took our packs to go up, and I loved the experience. The place is adorable, with great water pressure and a comfortable bed. Right off the mile, you can not get a better experience. Negative: No blackout curtains. Close, but don't forget your mask if you are sensitive to the light. Properties with long lists of house rules and directions make me really stressed out. I usually avoid them, but my husband found this, and we risked it. We were not fined, though I was emotionally uncomfortable and kept our interaction with objects to a minimum. We did not go in the kitchen.

I would say 7/10 Positive: The location was excellent. The stairs wet not as daunting as anticipated, though the advice to not bring full sized luggage should be observed. Negative: There needs to be an extract fan in the bathroom. There was superficial mold on the walls probably due to poor ventilation. The fire would not work. I couldn’t find a carbon monoxide sensor. You would be in trouble if there was a fire but I guess this is the risk you take if you want to stay in lots of places of this design. To be fair there were smoke detectors.

Fabulous accommodation in the heart of the old town. Beautifully presented accommodation, historically respected and sup Positive: Fabulous location and great apartment - super spacious and comfortable. Well appointed and historically respected. Negative: Nothing at all - it was brilliant - even the stairs which at the top floor were no joke.

Negative: Fewer stairs to clime. Better interior lighting, brighter reading lights.
