Jonathan 10.0

Great attention to detail and Fantastic service Fantastic breakfast and friendly conversation lovely rooms and facilities. Hygienic. Location is accessible to both the old town and the new town. Bus and taxi services are closed to the guest house and David and Ian’s friendly service makes you feel home away from home.

Ncttwicesnsd 10.0

I loved everything about this place. The hosts Ian and David and this wonderful young lady were all so attentive throughout my stay and they serve complimentary breakfast, Scottish edition, so I didn’t have to go out and pay more money. I especially love the “meat with everything” style breakfast because it was such a nice experience to really be immersed with Scottish tradition. The location was perfect because at one point, I didn’t have internet connection but because the location was so near the city Centre, I managed to find my way back safely.

Robin 10.0

Wow! This place checked off every box for us. No matter what your main priorities are when booking a hotel, Airbnb, or B&B, Castle Park Guest House has it all covered. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the wonderful owners, Ian and David. David kindly carried our heavy luggage up to the third floor, while Ian sat down with us to go over all the amenities and offer great recommendations for attractions, restaurants, and various ways to get around town. This beautifully renovated Victorian-style home perfectly blends charm with modern comforts. If you’ve traveled in Europe, you know how small the bathrooms can be—definitely not the case here! The spacious shower, comfortable king-size bed, daily room refresh, dedicated workspace, in-room coffee and tea bar, fast Wi-Fi, and a stunning view from our window were just a few of the highlights. And the breakfast each morning was absolutely lovely. Ian and David went above and beyond to accommodate every need. The location is ideal—within easy walking distance to the downtown center, the Royal Mile, and many other attractions. If you prefer not to walk, there’s a bus stop just outside with buses running about every 15 minutes. I can’t recommend this place enough. When we return, there’s no question—we’ll be staying here again. Thank you, Ian and David, for making us feel like part of your extended family.
