This hotel was booked as part of our honeymoon in Scotland as my (now wife) is a huge Outlander fan, so of course, I booked the Outlander room. The room is quite small but this wasn't a problem. It had some photos of the crew and cast taken during filming and a couple of pieces of 1940s furniture. Obviously the room is nothing like the 1940s room at 'Mrs Baird's B&B' as only the exterior of the Covenanter hotel was filmed while the inside shots were filmed in a studio. There were a few issues worth pointing out in that the very loose headboard bangs against the wall as soon as you sit on the bed, let alone sit back against it. I had to shove a cushion behind the headboard to stop it knocking the wall. The mattress was not the best either and very hard. There was no kettle, only a coffee-maker, so if you like tea you're out of luck. The lamp next to the bed has stains on it & needs replacing. Unfortunately, the bathroom is a lot worse...it needs a lot of attention. The ceiling is peeling & cracked with mould spots. The extractor fan does little to combat moisture and the window doesn't open. There was no sign above the sink warning about how hot the hot water tap is and my wife burnt her hand. The small step up to the toilet is a bit of a hazard as it's hard to see with the black slate tiles. There was also a slug on the window frame which is strange with the window not opening. The taps didn't turn off properly and were constantly dripping all night. I'm actually quite shocked at how bad the bathroom was considering the room is £130 a night. In fact, only one of the three windows opened and that was a struggle, which was very alarming as the fire alarm went off very late at night and no one came to tell us anything. This went on for around 20-30 minutes. If there had been a fire, I wouldn't fancy my chances with the windows not opening. We did mention this to the lady who served us breakfast in the morning and she just said there was no fire and if there had been they would have let us know and that it was a false alarm. She didn't seem concerned about it at all and the disturbance it caused guests. All in all, I would have expected a lot more for the price I paid. I will finish by saying the food was lovely, all homemade and although I would eat here again, I definitely wouldn't stay here overnight. I haven't stayed in such poor accommodation in a long time and it's a real shame considering how popular Falkland is. I hope the owner of this B&B take all these concerns on board going forward. To date, I still haven't had a reply from the owner to my email regarding the poor condition of this hotel.
