Stayed in April 2011 overnight. Arrival times a little awkward but we were accommodated on our 'out of hours' arrival (330pm) with keys being left out. We found our own rooms which were perfectly presentable and clean and as we went to find the bar (which on the telephone was sold to offer an honesty policy) was greeted by the... More

Thank you for your review With regards to your concerns of the bar The Waverley reserves that right of the bar opening times and I can confirm our bar is not open 24 hours a day.

booked a budget double, very last minute via bookings.com, very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room, and although the shower was not en-suite it was immediately next door and only shared with one other room, but must say it was one of the most luxurious shower rooms I have experienced in a b&b at these prices. Cheryl was... More

It is unfortunate to receive reviews like this when guests are unhappy even though they have not followed our policy. In our policy it clearly states we are a 'non smoking' establishment and we pride ourselves to ensure all rooms are clean and aired for forthcoming guests. This can not be achieved however with a linger of smoke where people... More
