Marie-laure 10.0

The location is great, there’s a bus stop very close by the B&B. The room is huge, very quiet and super clean. The breakfast was amazing. Alan is very nice and accommodating. Will book again next time we travel to Edinburgh.

Michael 10.0

It was very clean. I don’t know what scent they use, but it smelt really nice every time you entered and left on the ground floor. It was close to s bus stop out front, just few steps from the Guesthouse with frequent city buses to take you into the City Centre in about 15 minutes. Edinburgh is a very walkable city and some evenings I just walked home from the city centre. The room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was great. Breakfast was offered by the host, Alan, at a reasonable cost, but I did not partake. Probably should have done so. The place was quiet and I could come and go as I pleased as I was provided with a key for the front entrances and my room.

Brigid 10.0

Alan was a fantastic host. He prepared made to order breakfast daily. All were superb. This 3 day stay was one of the very best we had in a 4 week trip. Very clean and comfortable. Great bed and linens.

Beautiful garden out front. Very well-kept and clean. The hosts were very helpful in arranging a time for me to check in. AND it boasts an adorable dog named Tom.

Really nice B&B in Victorian townhouse. Nice and clean rooms, loved the decor (nice geometric wallpapers). Bus stop at 1 min, shopping centre nearby with supermarket, coffee, fastfood, bookshop, fresh breakfast made to order, help with booking a taxi, and the lovely dog.

Pamella 10.0

The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering help and great tips for sightseeing. The breakfast was simple but everything was fresh. The room was very spacious, with a comfortable bed. Although it's a bit farther from the main city center, it's super easy to get to — several buses stop right in front of the property and run frequently. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Chloe 10.0

Close to a bus station and easy access

Angelique 9.0

Due to a mistake during the booking process, only the two adults were included in the reservation. When we showed up with two adults and three children, there was a moment of surprise, but we were warmly welcomed and could go straight to our rooms without any issues. Everything looked very neat and well-maintained. The location is truly ideal — a quiet area, yet still very close to the city center. There’s a bus stop right in front of the building, but walking into town is also easy and pleasant. Breakfast was complete and delicious. We highly recommend this place!

Jo 10.0

Owners were lovely, great location & good value. Breakfast was excellent.

Vom 10.0

Alan‘s (and Tom’s, their dog) friendliness, we felt immediately welcome. The breakfast was wonderful. And the location also works very well. The city center is easy to reach by bus.
