I stayed in the Robert Burns room at the Scott House for 5 nights and had a wonderful time there. The claw foot bath is fantastic, I’d stay there again for that alone!
I loved getting to know Jemima a bit over breakfast - she has great recommendations and is just a fascinating person herself. She’s an excellent host and has made a gorgeous place of the Scott House.
The location is really good. A 5-15 minute walk will get you to most places inside old and new town.
