Stayed at the Emerald with my fiancé and another couple for 2 nights over New Year, and had a great time. Very welcoming, lovely rooms. About 15mins bus ride onto the royal mile but the bus stop is right outside the b&b with regular buses. Flexible checking out time (we were all a little hungover and should have checked out... More

The best B&B we have stayed in during our touring around Great Britain. Ann was extremely accommodating. Beautifully updated rooms & bathrooms. Fantastic breakfasts. Bus service at the doorstep. What else could you ask for. Richard & Julie. Western Australia

The room was immaculate with ensuite bathroom, cushy linens, movies, books, tea and cookies and other wonderful homey touches. The house itself was surrounded... More

I drive around 15,000 miles per year in my job and stay in all sorts of hotels but have to say the friendly welcome I receive every time I stay at the Emerald Guest House is first-class. The rooms are individually and beautifully designed and the breakfasts first-class. And, best of all as a Scot who is now domiciled in... More

We were a family of 6 adults travelling through Scotland. Edinburgh was our last stop. We chose this B and B because it was close to the ring road and so easy to get in and out of the city. Indeed, the bus stop was directly across the street and it was a quick 20 minute ride into the city... More

Overall cleanliness and comfort was lacking. Location not ideal in terms of both the quality of neighbourhood and distance to downtown. Since parking is available, I would recommend to take the city bus. Breakfast was good.
