    Given the constraints of the building - an old jail - space is not something to expect but it is comfortable enough. If more than a couple staying ie using the fold out bed, they would need to use the bathroom off the double bedroom. We didn’t mind at all.

    Very interesting use of a historic building making the stay somewhat entertaining! Excellent location for the centre of the town.

    A real gem right amongst the centre of Inveraray. Beautifully presented and had everything we needed.

    While there was heating in the rooms/hallway we found that , at this time of year, it was inadequate for comfort. Kirstin did stress that there was an oil heater for use if too cold and this did help to alleviate a certain amount of discomfort. Perhaps it was something to do with age, feeling the cold more!

    Breakfast not applicable. Fascinating flat in Inverarary accessable to all attractions and local facilities.

    Fridge/freezer felt too low and hob a little old. Longer term, I would refit kitchen to maximise limited space

    This is a gorgeous atmospheric property having originally been part of the jail. Tasteful and unique interiors. Also liked table for eating in room - we like to cook also on holiday so it was nice to have a dining area. Property is in the centre of Inveraray which is a fabulous base for visiting wider parts of Argyll and Bute.

    Nothing was unsatisfactory!

    Right in the heart of the town, everything walkable including the market and the castle. Perfect size for 2 people. We took advantage of the discount at the Jail attraction which gave us a different view of the accommodations (the back side!)

    Nothing!

    Fantastic conversation from the old cells, comfortable and furnishing are superb! Had everything we needed (apart from the weather) Ha Ha! But still really enjoyed our stay, the walks and views are stunning! Food from the local hotel I personally feel is a bit pricey but hey ho that’s what it is! Love the wee shop next door that sells everything! Only thing we heard during our stay was the “jingling of keys” but who knows? Would highly recommend a stay here no problem.

    The stairs leading to the apartment would be challenging if you had mobility issues. They are very worn and uneven.

    The apartment has a lot of history which made this an interesting stay. It also has everything you need to be self contained.

    Lighting was too dim. Overhead lights would be good or some brighter lights in the lounge and bedroom. The sofa in the lounge was a little low and soft for us.

    The location was great for the town. The shower was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped. The whole apartment was very clean. Overall we would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends and family.

    Only a very minor issue. Probably due to the the very high temperatures, the front door became difficult to lock.

    Everything we required in the apartment was there and close by were pubs, cafes, stores and walks.

    The property was in such a location that it was part of the old prison, which added character to the property. And The History To The Property was Amazing To Read About as well.

    There was no view from the apartment, but having said that, there is nothing that could be done about it, as it's due to the location.

    Location extremely convenient in the middle of town. Apartment finished to a high standard. Very helpful host. Having WiFi was a bonus, as it wasn't mentioned in the booking information.
