Carlton Seamill B&B

Owner tries hard but that's it.. The owner tries hard but I suspect is struggling. Could be an amazing place but needs a lot of work. In it's present form doubt it would pass a health and safety check. Permanent, permeating all pervasive awful smell probably from old perhaps damp carpets. This is not a 100 pound a night stay however you look at it: halve that and it might make more sense for an overnighter.

Beautiful Victorian home with original features, lovely garden leading onto the beach, great atmosphere and location. Avril is a lovely host and person.

A real bed and breakfast experience Avril offered us a real bed and breakfast experience, meaning we felt like we were invited to stay the night in her home. We had a long interesting chat in the morning. If people want more of a "quick-and-easy" hotel experience, perhaps this is not the place for you. The room was beautiful with view on the sea, the house was very nice: we felt like the time had stopped for a bit which is exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks Avril for making our stay so enjoyable.

Did not take credit cards for payment.

The host was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area and Scotland

My girlfriend and I booked this accommodation for two nights for a friend's wedding in the hydro next door. On first entry we met the owner Avril sitting at the door. She had informed us that she had limited mobility and did not inform us what room we had booked. I carried the suitcase upstairs and had to come back down to ask what room it was. The room itself had a musty, damp smell. Window sills were rotting away. Heater on in the corner that smelled like something was burning which is unsafe. The bathroom across the hall had dead flys in the bathtub and a lyno floor that has never been changed (probably since the 40's). We quickly realized that there was no hope we were staying the night. The whole place was unhygienic, and the smell still haunts me to this day. Would not recommend this to anyone and should avoid at all costs. Please save your money because we didn't even check in and couldn't get a refund even asking politely. We ended up staying in a nearby town instead but the whole experience had been shocking and extremely disgusting. This accommodation should not even be allowed to be rented as it is not clean. The only great thing about it is the location and the view but that's all that it has to offer. Avril was kind to us but at this rate she should know better and fix her place if she is renting it out to people for that price. We feel bad as it is her livelihood but she is just scamming people at this point if people continue to have the same experiences and she is not doing anything about it. Please don't bother staying with them unless you are super, super stuck for an accommodation.
