I can't tell you how wonderful it was to arrive at Sandeman House. I was travelling alone and was looked after so well by my hosts. My room was beautiful and bathroom large and luxurious. I could walk to nearby shops and restaurants easily and loved every minute of my time here. Breakfast was a superb start to the day... More

I don't know how anyone can criticize this b&b - everything is just so perfect!! The house is furnished so well with quaint touches and hidden gems in every corner! Everything is so lovely that you just don't know where to look first! Gorgeous! My parents and I stayed in the Terrace and Bay room, which were exactly like what... More

My husband and I stayed here while getting our daughter settled at university. We had the lodge at the bottom of the garden and it was a sweet little hideaway. For us it was perfect: a little sitting room and bathroom at the bottom and a bedroom accessed via a spiral staircase at the top. In the morning we wandered... More

Brill place to stay, clean and warm, nothing too much trouble. Only one problem - parking is about a mile away from the B&B - so not good if you want to do any travelling out of Edinburgh. Hosts will help retrive vehicle if required. More

My partner and I stayed at the Bed and Breakfast last weekend and had a truly wonderful stay. I informed the owners that it was my partners birthday and they really ensured that it was special for the both of us! My partner generally is hesitant about staying at a B&B however, he loved his stay there. I would highly... More

My husband and I stayed at Sandeman House a few weeks ago, and we had a wonderful stay. Neil and Joyce were great hosts. We arrived quite early in the day and they were happy to allow us into our room immediately. Any questions we had were quickly and graciously answered, directions, restaurant tips, etc. , the usual guests' questions.... More

My wife and I arrived at this B&B with expectations that it would be really good, but found it to be very average. Its situated on a busy road, with parking a problem. The room was very small, and the bed uncomfortable. We were booked in for 2 nights, but would have left after the first night, if we could... More

We really enjoyed our stay with Joyce and Neil. The room was large and comfortable, the breakfasts were great, and both Joyce and Neil were welcoming and really helpful. There are many good restaurants nearby, and Edinburgh's many sights are an easy walk along interesting streets and through beautiful parks. Edinburgh itself has so much to see, and it is... More
