Ally is a kind host. She had a lovely spread for breakfast although I didn’t usually stay for breakfast. She was quick to respond when I messaged her and she went the extra mile to try to find me a tour where I could pet the highland cows because my time was limited. She also made me the best cup of tea to soothe a sore throat. However, the floor and the sheets were not as clean as I would have liked them and the door to the room doesn’t have a lock on it and you can’t really shut it from the outside. I carried anything valuable with me because I felt uneasy leaving it. Also, the flat smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and I’m not sure if it’s because Ally smokes or someone near by smokes. I’m very sensitive to cigarette smoke and it gives me a terrible headache and sore throat. Also it’s a little far from the royal mile so if that’s your main attraction while you’re visiting I would suggest somewhere closer.
