Thrilled with our choice of B&B. Charming, friendly, helpful and informative hosts, Susan and Robert. All their suggestions were spot on. Wonderful breakfasts. Comfortable, clean, quiet but darkish room up 2 steep flights of stairs - only drawback for the "elderly". Good, on site car parking - a bonus for this busy city. City centre within easy walking distance, using... More

I have stayed here a few times over the years for a range of reasons: Spacious, very comfortable rooms. This is a classy example of Edinburgh architecture. The service is attentive, but you do not feel 'fussed over'. The cooked breakfast is excellent, and the location is central. It is easy to find in the car. A big plus is... More

Very central and yet busses near by. Lovely room ensuite. The bedding and towels fantastic which made me feel good and comfortable like being at home. Both Susan and Robert looked after me like a long lost friend which is nice when travelling on your own. Scrumptious cooked breakfast with loads of tea. Thanks very much for everything. Next time...

Stayed here with my wife for my 30th Birthday. Really beautiful Victorian building, and made to feel very welcome during our entire stay. The room was very comfortable and cosy, and we both slept well throughout the stay. Breakfast was also very good, and the owners were always happy to accommodate special requests (my wife is allergic to what). Fantastic... More

We took two rooms for a long weekend in June. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet facilitating a good night's sleep. Service at breakfast was excellent with a good range of options for a guest house. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Despite a rainy weekend we found the University and Castle within easy walking distance. There are also... More
