Corran House is a very basic establishment at the north end of the downtown. The rooms are average, but comfortable. There is no lift, so you'll have to carry luggage up to your room. We did not take the breakfast as it was priced ala carte for pretty standard packaged muffins and items and honestly, guests are asked to wash their own crockery and utensils. We went to a coffee shop in town. There are two adjoining buildings and we were not in the one over Markie Dans so no complaints about noise. The carpark is literally right next door to the buildings and only 1 pound per hour so very reasonable (and free after 6pm and before 9pm). we were able to walk along the esplanade or main shopping street in 10-15 minutes through the town with no problems, and it's a very pleasant walk.

I was very unhappy with my stay. The noise from the bar area. I was told noise from bar would stop at 1AM didn’t still till 2AM Access to kitchen for my 6 month old wasn’t available. And when asked a member of staff for access they was rude about it. We wasn’t told prior about limited access to the kitchen. Very uncomfortable and unprofessional did not feel welcome. I would like a refund due to the inconvenience and rudeness of staff. Please contact me back to resolve this matter.

The property was clean and well kept, the area was very walkable with easy overnight parking next door (paid, but very reasonably priced), and the pub in the same building was convenient with great food and drink options. Would go back and stay again!
