This hotel needs to update its website to give parking and access directions. Google maps gives directions to the middle of a block, behind the visible buildings. We had to park and walk to hotel just to ask how and where to park. The bat staff were lovely and very helpful. That night during our stay, the rains bucketed down and parts of the hotel started flooding. The bar and front desk person (the same person) had to leave and try to handle the flood until the owner came. The hotel is a warren of passages that is fairly confusing. Our room had chipped paint, a very uncomfortable bed, and zero ventilation. The beds need to be replaced and fans need to be in every room. The breakfast the next day was passable but we will not be back.

It was ok for one night.
The hotel is much older than it looks in the photos. We had a bit of a plumbing issue as the shower drain was clogged. Really strange layout. We had to go through 9 doors and 1 1/2 flights of stairs to get from the lobby to our room. Also, check the GPS, cara can’t drive on the actual street the front entrance is on.

We liked the location. But a few things let the hotel down. You are only allowed one beverage drink with your breakfast. They charge for top ups. There was no mirror in the room to dry your hair. The toilet didn’t flush unless you pumped it. During the day you have to pay for parking and you can only stay two hours.

Charming, wonderful boutique hotel
We loved our stay here at Friars Wynd! The bistro downstairs is cute and charming on top of having tasty food and cakes. Service was excellent. Our room provided a quiet, restful, comfortable stay after a long day of travel. Our only suggestions, which are minor: 1) individual plastic toiletry bottles are wasteful; a bulk dispenser would be preferred. 2) And while it was very nice of them to provide bottled water in the room, instead they could have a sign saying that Scotland’s tap water is very clean and safe to drink, and encourage guests to refill reusable bottles instead. Overall, we loved this hotel and would definitely come back.

I thought the location was excellent and the staff was fab but the property itself leaves a lot to be desired for the cost. The sink was maybe 12 x 16 in if that. The shower is so tiny and the doors so inconvenient you can’t turn it on without actually being inside. The restaurant dumps all their glassware into the bin at 12:30 am. There is no parking close by so not easy for anyone disabled or injured. If you don’t mind bare bones, shabby decor, a rabbit warn of heavy doors, lots of stairs, no help with bags, a teeny tiny bathroom and no parking this place is for you.

Beautiful boutique hotel. The room was beautiful and very clean. Only downside was I requested a twin room as I was with my 84 yr old mother. The only twin room on the top floor and the lift was out of order. It was a real struggle for her to get up to the room.

Nice place to stay a couple of days
We stayed in the Bute room. It was comfortable (the mattress is a bit on the firm side but still comfortable) and fairly clean (a bit of dust and a bug in the bathroom). The only issue was the noise from glass bottles being emptied into the bins periodically. The last time was about 10:30pm which I think is a bit late, then again around 8am (Sunday morning). The breakfast was good enough, though you have to pick a specific time the night before. We would stay here again.

A tad disappointing - our room was not serviced during our 2 night stay. This meant that on our return on night 2 we had no tea or coffee and no loo roll. Our full scottish breakfast was not that great either. However the room was cosy and clean.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the center of town, so it's highly walkable. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, as was the Sunday dinner we tried. The only thing that was a little challenging is that it's set up as a bit of a maze of hallways to get to your room. We figured it out, but it was a bit confusing. It didn't detract from all the good things about this little hotel. We'd gladly stay here again.
