The room was nice and the staff were excellent can't really comment on the food as I only had a bacon butty but that was very nice! ##### David ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Helpful, friendly owner but poor wifi The proprietress was lovely, friendly, helpful and provided a warm welcome. The room was fine and good value for the location and time of year. Breakfast was excellent. The only negatives were the shower was a bit weak, the tv had no signal when we came back to our room at night, and the wifi signal was poor. None of this would put us off coming back in the future. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Priscilla 8 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sonas Guest House Needed more time. We had only one full day and there is a lot to see so at some stage will be back. ##### Priscilla ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon, Dundee, Scotland 2 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gorgeous guest house....tastefully decorated.
