I have stayed at Highfield several times now and it feels like my home away from home. Maggie and Gordon and warm and friendly, but give you your own privacy. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The breakfast is superior. Definitely one of the best B&B in the UK. More

What a find the Highfield Guest house was, we knew as soon as we walked through the door that we had made a great choice. The room was perfect, immaculate spotlessly clean with en-suite and such a comfortable bed. Kate, Maggie and Gordon are about the best hosts you could wish for, the information and help they provide is second... More

We stayed one night at the Highfield Guest House in mid march. We found staying with Maggie and Gordon totally refreshing compared to the bustling Old Waverly Hotel, where we had stayed two nights previously. It was the first night of sound rest we got during our stay in Edinburgh, and we regretted not staying at the Highfield during our... More

We had a wonderful time staying at Highfield Guest House. Maggie and Gordon and Kate were wonderful - friendly and hospitable and full of helpful and useful information. It was an easy bus ride to the center of the city, so the location was convenient. The room was comfortable and lovely. One of my favorite touches was that a corkscrew... More

I stayed at the Highfield for three nights and I could not have chosen a better place. The room was perfect, clean, cosy, and with all the facilities (including free and fast internet), location ideal, and the service and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the friendly attention I received, including the personalized and... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. The room and bath were very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful with restaurant and sight suggestions.

A bed and breakfast that provides everything you could need at extremely good value. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms, and everything you need (eg TV, free wifi). Huge choice for breakfast. Very well placed for the centre of Edinburgh (on frequent bus route or a healthy stroll), and just 5 minutes walk from the University. More
