Access Arrangements

A "meet and greet" service is operated , whereby you will be met at a property at a pre-arranged time to give access. Full instructions of this procedure can be found in the secure guest area after a booking has been completed. It is very important that an approximate arrival time is provided before arrival for this process. Entry is from 14:00 onwards but if nobody has booked to depart on your day of arrival it will probably be very suitable for us to give you entry as early as possible. Departure is by 10am (a guaranteed late departure up to 20:00 can be obtained for 50% of that daily rate. Please contact us if you want to utilise this facility and a price will be calculated).

Please note that arrivals after 19:00 will incur a range of late arrival fee.

**LATE ARRIVAL: fees, 19:00 - 22:30 - 15 pounds, 22:31 - 00:00 - 30 pounds and 00:01 - 02:00 - 50 pounds. The latest access can be given is 02:00, otherwise it is given at 08:00 the next day. ESC accept no liability for any costs involved in alternative accommodation for this 6 hour period.

Each bedroom has a standard double bed.

    This property is not as described. The photo's are not a true reflection. It is very grotty and shabby and in need of lots of upgrades.

    Thank you for finding the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear there were aspects of the positive aspects to your stay.

    Response from the manager
    I am sorry that in your opinion your experience at the Castle Wynd apartment was below what is acceptable and different from previous guests. We have reminded the cleaning team to ensure that they are attentive to detail at all times and not to become complacent. With regards asking guests to call rather than txt for our arrival procedures, this guarantees that communication between guests and the "meet and greet "person has been exchanged and therefore a guest is not left standing outside at a property because the txt has been delayed by server or not even received. Actually speaking to a someone gives a guest reassurance that somebody will be there to meet them.
