My boyfriend and I stayed here Dec 29 2011-Jan 1 2012 and had a great stay. Ian and Jill were great hosts. We were given a warm welcome, and help with our bags. Ian and Jill were very helpful, and helped recommend everything from attractions to pubs to bus routes. They were also very accommodating when we asked to leave... More

We chose here to be closer to Leith tho' not actually in it. Situated next to Victoria Park the area is lovely as is the guesthouse. We chose en-suite and the only thing I'd have wished for is a bath to soothe my "shopped-out" aching legs. The room is decorated in a modern style, the bed extremely comfy. Wee complimetery... More

The hosts were extremely accommodating even with the volcano disrupting our travel plans. We were only able to stay one night because of the volcano and the gracious hosts only charged us for one night. If that weren't enough, they provided us with the right change to take the bus to the castle! The place is immaculate and full of... More

Our room was small but adequate, and very clean. Its basic components were: a (good) double bed, a single small chair, a wardrobe and a flat-screen television. There were lots of little touches that made the room more complete, such as wireless internet, a small fridge that you could turn on yourself if required, a bathrobe, a small set to... More

Good points- there is a private car park, which is excellent as it saves faffing around parking on the streets with permits etc. The rooms were quite spacious and the information folder was very handy. Rooms were clean and plenty amenities for the time we spent in the room. Breakfasts were lovely. The B and B is near the bus... More

There was good and bad. The bad: When we arrived at the guest house the lady who greeted us tried to hand us a room key but then realised that we both had our hands full with cases, bags and coats. Rather than offer to carry something for us, which would have been nice, she just commented that our hands... More

The B&B where we usually stay when in Edinburgh was fully booked, but we were lucky and struck gold again with The Bonnington. We were given a warm welcome and many apologies for the fact that their phone was out of order (I had tried to call a few times during the day in order to inform then about our... More

The Guest House was clean, bright and comfortable. We had a really friendly reception when we arrived and our room was ready even though we were a little early. Just on the outskirts of the city centre but we liked that. There was ample parking so that we could happily leave our car at the Guest House and were able... More
