Everything was always tidy and ready for use. The owners provided contact information available for questions and were present enough that I didn't need to look for them. The area was very quiet and relaxing, perfect after busy crowded days in the city center.

We absolutely loved everything about East Claremont Guest House. It was a truly exquisite and homely experience, filled with thoughtful touches—from the luxurious towels and quality toiletries to the variety of snacks, coffee pods, and teas provided in the room. Combined with the delicious Scottish breakfast, our stay felt perfect. We couldn’t have asked for more.

A lovely guest house, only a 10 min walk from the city center. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable, staff is helpful and you can find plenty of restaurants, bars and stores in the vicinity. I only stayed for one night this time, but will definitely return.
