we stayed in the cruachan guest house over new year's. the place itself is quite basic but charming. it's a great place for people needing a comfy bed to sleep in and don't require extra frills. the owner, graham, is as charming as can be. the scottish breakfast he serves is absolutely fantastic. the house was only a ten minute...

I will definitely go back there when I come back in... More

I have been staying in Edinburgh for two nights, booked a single room but actually when I arrive he arranged a double room for me, and there was no extra charge at all, its an amazing bargain to me, but it seems this lovely old man doesn't really care about money at all. Location and surrounding are wonderful, very convenient... More
