Rooms at Tarrareoch

Amazing place. Clean, warm, especially important on a winters evening. Owner of cottage not only cleared all cars in car park of snow, which was quite heavy fall, but cleared a path for me to get to my car because i have mobility issues. Lovely man who was welcoming and friendly.

Great location, walking distance from station which is 30 mins into Edinburg city centre. Main host Nicola was lovely. This place has lots of potential but does need a fair bit of TLC for us to rate it any higher. Noisy - very loud floor boards which woke us when other guests used the bathroom next to our room in night and early morning. Facilities - plug for TV was high up and off on arrival, we had to climb up on a table to turn it on. kettle lid was loose and dangerous to use, inside of kettle was brown and filter worn, no mugs on first night to make tea, much needed after a 5 hour drive, mirrors too high, couldn’t see in them without standing on something, lack of table surface, suggest removing large armchair and puffet and putting a small table with a mirror. Chain on door was installed upside down making it unusable. Linen on beds was creased, sheet on one bed was inside out, couldn’t have blinds open to let in natural light as could see into room from car park (maybe frost out the window so blinds can be left open during the day). No working hallway light so had to use our phones to walk back to our room and open our door at night. Lots of small fixes could make this a much better stay as location is great and has a lot of potential.
