This is a lovely flat, well equipped and extremely convenient for exploring all parts of Scotland with or without a car.. We used the train all the time and visited many places from Aviemore to Edinburgh. The only slight problem was having Wetherspoons next door. We did hear barrels being moved late and early which was not too bad but we had to have the blinds down in the bedrooms because the very strong lights which light up their yard were on full all night. We think that there should have been more warning that the spiral staircase was 25 steps up into the flat which could have been an issue for people with mobility problems. It was OK for us but might not be for others.

Beautfiful warm very clean comfy flat in the town centre with a parking space in the church gardens.. We were a bit concerned about parking to start with and had to ring sykes to check if this was actually going to be private and we wouldnt arrive to find someone parked there!. Bit awkward that the caretaker number is actually sykes as they act as letting agent so any issues you have to ring sykes not the caretaker direct. They didnt really answer our question but when we arrived we found that the gates had a big sign on with private parking for 34 watergate. You have to unload at the back and then take car round to the gardens and park on the gravel so the church gardeners can get in and out. Great for town centre literally two steps from the front door of the flat into the shops and high street. Lovely window overlooking the river. All in all had a lovely week. If we could find one fault (and it is nothing to do with the flat itself) it would be the fact that there is a wetherspoons public house next door. The bins and back of the pub were immediately under the bedroom windows so there was associated noise late at night and early morning of staff moving beer barrels and putting rubbish out.
