Thirlestane Castle Tours

It's spacious but the smell of the elevator and hallways are atrocious. Worst smell ever, like bad BO or worst. The apartment itself also had a weird odor. We had to go buy room spray. But it was convenient to have 2 bathrooms and 2 rooms especially for groups of 4 or more. If you need just a place to sleep it's OK.

Rarely can I say that everything about a hotel booking was perfect - the whole experience exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful stay. We were visiting the Fringe as part of our 21st anniversary, I'd mentioned it a while back when I booked. I also asked if we could have a room with a view and be quiet if possible. Sometimes you mention these things and they all get ignored! Well not at the Inn on the Mile - it's a beautiful boutique run hotel, with a bar and really great friendly staff. A big thank you and shout out to the general manager, Rosie, who arranged the room, which was perfect - views of the royal mile in the heart of the Fringe and a beautiful room which was quiet too. In the room when we arrived was a welcome card from Rosie and complimentary bottle of prosecco and basket of Scottish snacks/drink goodies! We felt really special and such a nice way to celebrate our 21st anniversary. The room itself was clean, modern, and beautiful decor with a super smart bathroom. All the staff during our stay were really friendly, helpful and breakfast was yummy and lots of it. We loved the crushed avacodo with tomatoes/corriander with poached egg. We also had two complimentary free drinks for the bar - so we had a cocktail and prosecco (yes more!) actually on our last day sitting in the outside area before we headed off to the airport. Our luggage was stored just inside the door so it made it really easy for us to head off that day. Thank you so much :-)
