This manor is in an ideal location, within walking distance to a great pub, gardens, Arthur’s Seat and a quick trip into the city of Edinburgh. The home had plenty of room & the check in/check out process was easy.
As avid world travelers however, I unfortunately have many recommendations to improve this property for others.
Upon arrival, we noted a large hole in the ground near the entrance gate, >4 ft x 4 ft, covered with wood, and this could be a hazard. In the foyer, there was a large amount of dust, a pair of socks and Uno cards in the nook of the staircase. The glass doors out back were covered in fingerprints and smudges. The odor in the back bedroom on the 1st floor was so unpleasant and pull down shades over the sliding glass door that would not lift. The chairs in many of the rooms, including the dining room, had dried food & so many stains that they had been covered with random blankets to hide it. There are water leak marks in the ceilings, in the the back bedroom (1st floor) & in all the bathrooms, including mold in the 1st floor bathroom ceiling, which is a health risk.
The toilet in one of the main bathrooms upstairs was unusable since it was slanted to one side & not secure to hold, when sitting. Lastly, the unkept backyard with no attention to landscaping, leaf covered water feature & table that was dilapidated, was very disappointing. For such a beautiful manor, I was somewhat surprised. I really home improvements are made as this home has potential!
