I had a mix of experiences during my stay at Cluaran House. The hospitality from Ibrahim was definitely a highlight, as he was always smiling and willing to help. However, I faced some issues with the parking situation, which significantly affected my ability to enjoy the city's attractions. Overall, it was a pleasant but somewhat frustrating experience.

The room was clean and tidy, though I found it a bit lacking in plug sockets and storage space. It felt like the room might have just started being used recently, so some teething problems were present.

While the guesthouse had essential facilities like WiFi and a TV, I did find the lack of ample power outlets limited the overall convenience of the room.

I had a pleasant stay at Cluaran House, with highlights including a warm welcome from Ibrahim and a delicious Scottish breakfast each morning. The cozy rooms offered a nice atmosphere, though they were a bit snug for my family. The location in Bruntsfield was convenient, allowing easy access to local restaurants and attractions, though we mostly opted for taxis after a tiring trek through the city. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were a few minor inconveniences.
