Columba House

8/10 Good
"A comfortable hotel to stay in. It is a little run down and lacks attention to detail (wallpaper peeling, rust on radiator that just need an enamel coating). I was disappointed that I booked a four poster room, but did not get a four poster bed. This should be updated on the website if the rooms have changed. I stayed for two nights in different rooms. In the twin room I received a couple of bottles of water, biscuits, and sweets which I thought was a nice touch. In the more expensive ‘four poster’ room I didn’t get any of these things. There was also no wardrobe, yet there was a wardrobe in the twin room which is a smaller room. The decor of the ‘four poster’ doesn’t seem to be able to decide what it is. The curtains, carpet, and side lamp have a Scottish feel, which goes with all the original wood, but then the ceiling lamp is rope (navy/sea theme) and the mirror and picture frame are an old manor house feel, it’s just a bit disjointed. And the tiny TV on the wall looks silly with the size of the room. The room has no hairdryer, iron or ironing board. I understand the attraction of running a staffless hotel, but this place feels like it needs a bit of care and attention, then it could be a little gem. Overall a comfortable stay, but I would look for somewhere else on my next trip to Scotland."
