Nicely located in a cozy corner of the old town, it is in the centre of everything but far enough away from the noisy main streets. The owners are awesome. So helpful and layed back . At breakfast " Real Bacon". Had'nt had it in so... More

The owners are the best! You get a freshly cooked breakfast whenever you want it, ratti is always around to help and too talk to, she... More

I stayed one night at Finlay’s in a double room (one person) with shared bathroom. Room was comfortable but as others have said you can hear the people next door so if you’re a light sleeper you might consider ear plugs. I didn’t hear any dogs at all. It was handy to have a torch in the room when the... More

I can see why this place gets such great reviews. The common areas are cozy and cute, Ratti and Keith are both amazingly helpful and nice and the breakfast is great, plus it's a reasonable price. However, I can't believe anyone having stayed in the upstairs rooms could have written any reviews that said they were comfortable. The bed was... More

Keith is also very lovely and gives some good advice. They let us keep our bags there when we did a 3 day trek which was very kind! The only thing... More

Had a great time staying at Finlay's Cottage. We had an overnight trip away during the middle of our stay and the team were very accommodating. They let us leave our larger bags there overnight at no charge. Rooms were clean, comfy and breakfast everyday was delish. If you're after a real laid back, homely experience at low cost -... More

First night we stayed in a double room upstaires. The room was very nice and spotless clean but the matress was awfull. You could feel the springs. The two next days we stayed in a twin room and the matresses were much better! Free WIFI works in the rooms as well. Bathrooms – not attached - are very, very clean!... More

Stayed for three nights in aircon room. Very small place but plenty of showers + toilets so no waiting. Very clean, breakfast good and only 5 min walk to old city, off the main roads so quiet. Nice place, very homey. Would stay again.

We stayed at Finlay's Cottage for 5 nights and absolutely loved it. Much like the other reviews say, Ratee is a great host, super friendly and helpful (she recommended a great value Thai massage in the temple grounds near the house-120 baht!) There is a very laid back vibe which is great as you are made to feel at home.... More
