We stayed for a week in Embded House whilst visiting our daughter at Dundee University. The location of the property is excellent for all of the local amenities in Broughty Ferry and only a ten minute car journey to the centre of Dundee. The house itself is well furnished and very clean with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We would definitely book again. Response: Thank you for your great review. We try to maintain the highest level of cleanliness to ensure you have as comfortable a stay as possible. Therefore I'm so pleased you found this to be true and of a very high standard. |

The location was very good for walking to the shops, dinning out,the beach and bus stop if you wanted to go into town. My family and I will be back to stay at Embden House again. Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review of Embden House. We appreciate your feedback as we want to make everyone's stay a memorable one. We have tried to ensure the house has everything for a fabulous stay. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future! |
