Arrived a few hours early after travelling up from Gatwick through the night,  although check in is'nt till 5pm The owner's let us get into our room early so we could freshen up and sleep, The room was basic but clean and the beds were comfy, Could do with a bigger tv as did struggle abit to see it, and would of liked afew more channels.  A nice view of the park from our window,  The hallway and stairs outside the room is wood so very noisy when people from other rooms come and go,  It's  about a 15 minutes to walk to the town through the park,  Stayed for 3 nights and found the owners very friendly and helpful throughout, overall nothing major to complain about.

Acer Guesthouse

We were aware of the check in time of 5pm but arrived at lunch time in Perth we parked up outside, since we got no response on the doorbell. We left our booking form in in Windscreen to show we were legitimately parked and went into Perth for the rest of the day. We got back after 5pm and were shown to our room but with little warmth or welcome. Considering that the hosts are offering nothing more than a room and no breakfast, a cheery smile would have worked. Better worse, we we were told to that if we filled our room bin, we should empty it ourself, in the purple top bin outside. Really? On the positive side the accommodation was clean and acceptable for two nights. £140 for the room for that period is OK but would I recommend here, No. the biggest issue was the fact that the hosts generated a lot of noise from their accommodation, largely TV until 1am. We bought ear plugs from Boots to do the second night. I suspect we reflect recent comments here.

A disappointment

As we were travelling by train I tried contacting the guest house by email and phone, to no avail, to ask if we could drop our luggage off. The 5pm check in was not a problem we simply wanted to leave our luggage rather than trundle it around Perth. We walked to the guest house from the station,  where there wasn't a left luggage office, to find no-one at home. Fortunately their very kind neighbour saw our dilemma and offered to store our cases in her garage. On returning to the guest house, they now had our luggage, the lady was not particularly friendly. 
The room and en suite had laminate floors which needed a good clean, they hadn't been swept and were covered in fluff and hair. 
But the worse thing was the noise from the owners and their TV. No concession was made for their guests. It was apparent they wanted the income with the least effort possible.

No concept of service

Tried to book through booking.com but my internet crashed so I booked direct via a phone call. I was promised an email confirmation which didn't happen until I chased it up and it came back as room only.  I thought I was booking a B&B  !!!  I queried as to whether there was breakfast provided but got no reply.  Pleasant enough stay but I do feel a little like I've been conned as during the initial phone call there was no mention that this was room only.  I would certainly have gone elsewhere had I realised, We could have stayed in the Travel Lodge across the other side of the park for a lot less money  :-(  £60 was rather a lot for a room only, and a somewhat dusty room at that.

Very mixed feelings

This guest house is rated as 4 star.  Definitely disagree with this.   The location was ok, rooms were very basic and the bedding and towels needed to be upgraded.  
The Wifi would not connect in one of the rooms used by our family.  The balcony in that room would have been a nice addition if there hadn’t been a draft coming in the spaces between the panes of glass.     ThIs room also had a missing bulb in the bedside lamp.  There was a bulb missing in one of the bedside lamps on the other room we rented and in its place was a dead daddy long legs.  The owner was chatty but was little help as far as suggesting restaurants for dinner or breakfast.

Visited in September 2018

I know it says 5pm check in, but I had spoken to the owner and said that we might arrive slightly earlier as we had plans in the evening. I can't prove that as it's my word against hers. We arrived at 2.40pm and all the windows and back door were open (the two large dogs came out to see what was going on). We waited until 3pm and still no one turned up. I rang the number - no answer. My wife has heart problems and as we'd been travelling for six hours in the baking sun, she was feeling quite unwell so we left. I rang again at 3.42pm, still no answer, so we got a room in the Travelodge. At 4.55pm I sent an email but in my frustration I didn't type the name properly. My point is, she is running a business and she didn't answer the phone but she was quick enough to take our money. By all means book this guest house (if you don't mind 2 large dogs running around) but don't expect to get in before 5pm.

Total confusion

Came here with my husband.He never came back after fòotball.But i was upstairs in ròom never slept.Wasn't guests it was owners till 2.am.My friend spoke to them .night to say got back ok.Wife who owns the place sòo rude.I tried to call myself got phone hung up several times.Bed they should upgrade between owners and bed squeaking not sure what was worse.Dnt stay here if want a quiet relaxing time.
