We always come up to Edinburgh for the 6 Nations Rugby and have previously booked into a Hotel in the Centre of the City. However one year we were unable to secure reasonable hotel accommodation and it was by chance I saw the advert for Dovecot House B+B - and I am pleased to report we are still returning to... More

I have stayed in this B&B a number of times. I stay here while on business, but I've also stayed here with my wife when visiting Edinburgh. I can say with confidence that this is by far the best B&B I have stayed in. The owner Maggie is delightful and is the perfect host. Her breakfasts are fantastic and her... More

Have just returned home from a wonderful two night stay at Dovecot House. This beautiful Guest House is the cleanest and most welcoming guest house I have ever stayed in. Plenty of parking and no need to take the care out. A short bus ride into Edinburgh is a stone throw away. The rooms are large, cosy ,bright and just... More

We have just returned from our second visit to Dovecot House, the first being about 2 years ago. Maggie (the proprieter) still maintains the excellent standards previously found and is as warm and friendly as ever. This visit was to have been made a year ago but was cancelled due to the bad winter and Maggie had kept us informed... More

Many thanks to host Maggie MacKenzie for her lovely warm welcome on our return visit to Dovecot House. It is a pleasure to stay in Maggie's beautiful home. Our Scottish breakfasts were delicious and the cosy garden room was ideal - with the birds and a pet rabbit to entertain us! Our son and his partner thought their double en-suite... More

I absolutely loved my week that I stayed here. Maggie could not be more accommodating and welcoming and helpful. It was just a short bus trip to the city itself and there was a couple of good places to eat not far away... A must stay!! More

Beautiful clean guest house, just as described, "a home from home". Maggie was just delightful and was always on hand to make sure everything was up to expectations. Lovely room with great views across to the distant hills. Breakfast was lovely. Five minute journey by bus into Edinburgh. My first visit to Scotland and it was certainly memorable and would... More

The Best B&B anyone could ask for. Top service, bed so comfortable and room large, light and airy. Good location for catching the bus into the city. Maggie went out of her way to assist us. Her cheery, friendly nature is amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were so good. More

Maggie and Colin are a delightful couple and make you feel so welcome. The facilities are very nice, modern, clean and attractive. The location is easy to get into town from and there are lots of amenities within easy walking distance. Breakfast was very good quality and Maggie made slight changes daily to keep it interesting. She was most helpful... More
