Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
the noise from the road was very loud and I asked to change rooms. rooms are cleaned every 2 days tea bags and milk were not refreshed, I had to go to the bar to ask for more. the rooms were away from the pub/ restaurant so if there was a problem in the night I am not sure who I would call. To get to the rooms you go up outside steps, the light does not come on until you are half way down the steps so in the dark is dangerous.

Great place with easy access to the City Centre
We flew in for a wedding in the West End of the city. The Torfin was perfectly placed between the airport and the venue. The rooms are small but beautifully decorated with a comfortable king bed. Even though we had a road side room, we were not aware of any excessive noise. The rooms are accessed outside of the pub which we saw as a positive as you don't need to go through a pub to get back. There is a bus stop to the city centre right outside. The 26 gets you there in 10 minutes and runs around every 10 minutes. From there when we left it was £10 in an Uber to get to our car hire place so we could get to our next destination.

This property is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, both the B and B and the restaurant down stairs. We used Uber to get around. About 10 min. In to town or out to the airport. The only thing I would change are the bed pillows. They are very thin and offer no support.

It was a great one-night stay and accessible to public transportation and less than 15mins. drive to the airport and downtown. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The area was clean and safe. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.
