Excellent and prompt customer service, good location just need improvement and updating, which shouldn't be a hard task 🙂
Great place to stay with kitchen facilities. Room was great and so was the bed, coverings and pillows. Cold room as main heating not on with small heater in room that took the chill off. Water pressure good but getting a hot shower was a challenge but if you tired it right you got one.
Don’t follow google maps to site you’ll get lost. Great atmosphere and beautiful public rooms. WiFi was very weak.

Kirkhill is the worst place there is no staff at all at the place and no one to assist and property is very far from edinbrugh and no cab will come to this property to pick up because it is very very very far and inside like jungle no lights even in the way to this place, I was to scared to this place and the keys was kept in the locker and the gave us the locker number wrong and we had to call them again to ask the number and the room was not quite good no amenities no neatness it’s a big disaster and I booked for 3nights but I checked in 10pm and I checked out next day morning at 8am as soon as I woke up not suggestive to anybody
Self check in was simple, and it was easy to park up
Rooms were a good size and clean, bed was a little uncomfortable but I'm fussy and like my own bed
Communal kitchen was kept nice and tidy
Good location not too far from Edinburgh
Would stay again
The overall stay at Kirkill estate rooms was great and excellent. The atmosphere as well as the rooms were clean and great. They also provided every facilities such as kitchen, great outdoors and so on.The property had games room and other board games.They also provided every basic amenities during the stay. This property is worth the price and the journey if you are visiting edinburgh.
This is a nice old estate in the countryside, about 30 mins from Edinburgh. The setting is beautiful, there is a river and forest just a short walk from the estate. Our room (#2) was a okay, the wallpaper was cute and beds were comfy but the wood floor under the carpet needed to be screwed down, it was SO LOUD every time you walked on it. The shared living space was large and nice, the kitchen was huge. Overall, we would stay again!
The house is beautiful and rooms were quiet and nicely decorated. One negative was that there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, so I had to go shopping. The bed linen was very clean and the room bright, even though it was a basement room. Unfortunately, on the morning of leaving, the fire alarm sounded continually, and although the guests waited outside, there was no staff present to switch off the alarm or check the situation. Other than that, a good place to stay.

The room was clean. Their were no staff. There was a self check in / check out procedure which was easy to follow. Other more regular guests were helpful. There was tea/coffee facilities in room. Kitchen facilities meant food I'd brought could be prepared. Enjoyable stay.
Beautiful setting
Great facilities
Convenient to get to Edinburgh on train
Thankyou

Bedrooms are gorgeous, very close to Edinburgh and other locations. WiFi is very bad could not get any signal, bad smell from people cooking as the kitchen is used by all. Overall I would stay there again.
Everything was great except the room is a bit warm when we got in. Had to wait till evening for the air to cool down. Would be better if there is an option for a standing fan.
Stay was very unique and cozy, and the staff was as nice as could be during the stay. Its a very old building, so you can hear all the neighbors rather easily, especially early in the morning.
When researched online, I saw the town was about 25 minutes from Edinburgh, which seemed reasonable for getting rides or taking the train. However, finding taxis and Ubers to and from the the city proved more difficult. If you're looking to go to the city, I wouldn't recommend staying here. If you're looking for a quiet stay away, it would be very pleasant

Beautiful old house, but there is only a portable electric heater to heat a large room! Room was freezing all night. Portable heater could not warm an area 2 feet away. Also, no Internet in the rooms, you can pick up the wifi down stairs. Would not be such a big issue, but cell data is very spotty. You're forced to go to the common areas to get on the net.
The room was terrible. The bed was even worse. Mattress was so soft we could feel the bottom of the bed. The pillows were so flat we had to go out and buy some pillows for it didn’t eat. Staff didn’t know who is staff all in all I would not go there again
