“The rooms at Arrandale Guest House surprised me with their spaciousness and thoughtful touches, like kettles for tea and coffee, and the beds were genuinely comfortable. While the self-check-in process is efficient, it does mean staff interaction is minimal. Still, the quiet, well-connected location makes it a sensible base for exploring the city.”
