I really enjoyed my stay at The Auld Pottery.
The location is great. There are plenty of little cafes and coffee shops within easy walking distance, and you can be in the Grassmarket in less than 20 if you don’t get distracted by the unique shops along the way. Bus stops are very near.
Previous reviews noted the light and the noise. They aren’t inaccurate. I countered this by purchasing a wrap around sleep mask with Bluetooth...I could block out the light and set up some white noise on my phone to drown out the sound.
It’s clean, and the little touches really matter. It could get cold, but mess with the heaters a bit and pile on the blankets and get really cozy. It’s delightful. There was nothing better to curl up in the bed with my Kindle and some tea and ALL THE BLANKETS and listen to the rain on the window panes.
It’s old, the place can and will creak. Don’t expect to bring anything larger than a carry on up the stairs. The shower was larger than expected, and the water pressure was exceptional.
