“Spoiled Honeymoon Night”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
15
people found this review helpful

Our first night and breakfast was good. The second night, our honeymoon night, was spoiled by loud booming music from the owners flat. We could feel the room vibrating. I had to get up at about 12 30 to ask someone to turn it down. The music meant that when i knocked on the owners private door, they did not hear me, or when i called out. I went outside and found a lady smoking and drinking on the doorstep. She said "i will ask them to turn it down". I said i would wait while she did. She then teetered down the hall with her glass of wine and made to come into our room! I had to show her where the door to the owners flat was! The music was turned down and then we heard a man shouting angrily, "Who are they"? There were then loud voices and banging of doors and someone complaining about us making an issue of it. I phoned the owners mobile who said she was on the premises but was unaware of the noise. This has really spoiled what should have been a special restful night. Sad as it is a nice BB with good food.

“Quality B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I spent 2 nights at Alexander House B&B.
On arrival I was welcomed by Steve who was friendly and welcoming.
Steve showed me where everything was located.
I was shown to my room which was at the back of the house a double with ensuite which was well decorated and immaculately clean.The bed was comfortable with quality bedding which made for a good nights sleep.
Freeview tv and tea and coffee was supplied.
The breakfast was excellent with a choice of cereals, fruit juice, tea, or coffee, and toast.
I had scrambled egg and smoked salmon each morning which was excellent.
There is a breakfast menu where you have a choice of cooked breakfast.
Cath and Steve are a lovely couple who will do all they can to make your stay enjoyable,they are easygoing and friendly.
I highly recommend this b&b spotless throughout cannot find any fault.
The rates are very reasonable.

Room Tip: All rooms are excellent.

“Stay at Alexander House for daughter's wedding”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Can't fault it. Great room and whole of guest house was spotless. Couple running the guest house, Catherine and her partner could not do more for you and the full Scottish Breakfast was A1. I would highly recommend and within easy walk of everything.

“Cycle friendly B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

A great cycle friendly B&B I would recommend to cyclists undertaking the End to End challenge.
I arrived after a horrible days cycle in the rain and received a lovely warm welcome which was greatly appreciated. Steve and Catherine locked my cycle up overnight and even washed and dried all my cycle clothes! They later helped me out with the following days route. The en-suite room was immaculate and attention to detail was excellent. Lovely breakfast which set me up for another days cycle.
Thoroughly recommend this B&B to all, especially cyclists.
