First visit to Scotland

The room seems to have had a recent remodel so it was pretty nice looking in good condition the beds are harder than a rock like all the beds here in the UK and everyone we've stayed at. The shower was leaking terribly in the corner by the toilet hopefully they see this review and are able to fix that. There is a large bump in the middle of the shower so you need to be very very careful getting out or you will fall through the glass door. Learning all the new handles commas which is, plugs has been interesting as it is our first time visiting the UK. Overall the hotel was quaint and quiet. Not handicap accessible I feel this is very important to know as we had to help elderly people get up the spiral staircase with their luggage.
Very steep spiral staircase period
Do not touch the metal thing hanging on the wall evidently it was a heater and extremely hot. Whomever stayed in the room before us did not turn the switch off the room was very hot.
Bottom of shower stall, bathroom extremely small.

Based on previous comments I was concerned about the self check in but that was all fine. O only problem was the airline didn't deliver my luggage and since there was no front desk they couldn't deliver so I had to go back to the airport. The service was rated so poorly because there was none. The owner sent an email to see if everything was alright but when I responded it indicated it was undeliverable to sender!? Great location
