“Caveat emptor.”
−Property did not get in touch with me prior & misrepresented accommodations. Thought this was a regular inn, with an attached restaurant. Was unable to rouse anyone in the locked building, so I ended up having to stay elsewhere & requested refund, as never set foot in the place. Attempted to contact multiple times, but “server not found”. Bookings.com said they have not heard back from management yet. Contacted AmEx, which is challenging the charge on my behalf. Terrible customer service.

“God help you if your phone dies.”
+Quiet and greatlocation.
−The room lock was extremely worn. Owner acknowledged it was going to be replaced and there was a process to open then door. The email was great instructions but a temporary note by the door would avoid frustration and email exchange when all I wanted to do was get to bed.

“In the event of an emergency guests are on their own, do not stay here , example fire guests are on thier own.”
+Proximity to thistle inn restaurant, not related to property
−Lack of heat, space heater and extension cord provided. Severe safety hazard . Should not operate in winter. No ability to reach staff, multiple messages, voicemail, texts and e mails sent to property regarding lack of heat and needed clothing left behind. No response after 4 days. Could not drive back to pick up needed clothing as there is no person at property and unable to reach staff. Booking. Com also unable to reach property. Totally unacceptable.
