Nice guest house not far away from Bruntsfield and the Meadows. Family room with three beds and ensuite bathroom. We had a great two nights here and enjoyed a good breakfast each morning, freshly prepared. Free parking on the back streets for the weekend as a bonus.

Comfortable bed. Scrumptious cooked breakfast by the host, including haggis. Nothing was too much trouble.
Laura
9.0
Both Mobin and Alisha were very warm and welcoming and were very attentive to what we needed. The room was very clean and modern and we couldn't fault the cleanliness. It was great value for money and breakfast was delicious and there was a great atmosphere at breakfasts. Cruachan was well placed with great bus links or a 20 minute walk into Edinburgh centre and there were some great coffee shops and food places within walking distance. The bed was comfortable
