The owner is a welcoming, kind gentleman very accommodating about arrival and departure times. The place gives you a sense of staying in British B&Bs 50 years ago, that is, it’s definitely an older place, with some quirky, mismatched elements that can be charming. The important elements—bed, bedding, and bathroom—were clean and comfortable, and the place was affordable and convenient for driving to the airport early morning. We had to leave too early to be able to enjoy the well-reviewed breakfast. There were some parts of the room that were not particularly clean, especially a hair dryer that was sticky and, as a result, had bits of hair plastered all over it.

The proprietor David was a lovely man. His breakfasts were tasty and delicious. Good B&B for an old-school stay. Old Georgian home so if you like a historic stay, this is it.

Our stay at Spylaw Bank House was our first night in UK. David our host was so keen to please and help us. We arrived late in the day and he booked us into a local restaurant for dinner, showed us to our room, explained everything we needed to know. We woke to the fresh and fragrant smell of the flora/trees outside our window. Our home cooked full breakfast was really good and fresh pressed coffee. Spylaw Bank House was easy to find, close the village, quiet and restful. Loved our stay.

Should be in contact with the host for how to park in front of the house because things are a bit tight. Historic house in a very cute part of town.

An old Georgian mansion which has been updated with all of the most modern facilities. My room was thoroughly equipped with everything I could need - no reason at all to go to the bother of asking for anything at all. The breakfast was well prepared and offered a large variety - even for those picky vegan and vegetarian types. Very close by bus stops for transport either for town or back and forth from the airport. I also met friendly travelers from all over Europe at the breakfast table.
