The Cairn Residence

Private and secure parking, comfortable room.

We loved the location and the accommodation. Our room and bathroom were spotless, beautifully maintained and comfortable. We also loved having a sitting room and large TV. Breakfast was delicious and generous. Our hosts were so very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Sandy gave us a lift down into town and lots of local information on the way. Marie recommended things to do and places to eat. They also gave us a very helpful information sheet which we used to plan our activities. We parked our car inside the grounds of the lovely home and garden, at no extra charge. We enjoyed our stay immensely and cannot recommend ‘The Cairn Residence’ more highly. Thank you Sandy and Marie, we would love to return!

The property is amazing , very elegant and spotless. Marie and Sandy are superb, their warm hospitality made us feel at home. Marie’s delicious breakfast is the perfect way to start a day, we felt she really cared about us and prepared the food we like. Sandy drove us to the center and showed us bus options we have. Marie and Sandy recommended attractions and gave us a printed summary. We enjoyed our stay and it was difficult to leave.

What a great stay with Sandy and Marie in their lovely home in Edinburgh. Just a short, picturesque walk along the river or a quick bus trip into town from their wonderful home – where we enjoyed a spacious bedroom, large bathroom, our own lounge area, magnificent breakfasts, and great hospitality. We had many chats with the hosts and the time flew far too quickly. We’ll have to return someday for more of the same. Wholly recommended and a fabulous start to our trip in Scotland!

Amazing property and so comfortable and spotless. Breakfast freshly served each morning, nothing was too much trouble. Sandy and Marie are the perfect hosts and made my friend and I so welcome. Brilliant for attending a concert at Murrayfield Stadium.

Sandy & Marie are extremely friendly and supportive hosts! Even when we arrived late, Sandy invited us for a very good tea and a small evening meal. Even as a non-native speaker, Marie is easy to understand and takes the time to explain everything. Sandy gives great advice on exploring Scotland. And don't forget: Marie is a great cook and is happy to fulfill wishes - thank you for the great time!

Everything. Both Sandy and Marie were first class host, from the minute you step inside the house you are treated with the utmost respect and friendship. The breakfast was cooked perfectly each day and whatever you wanted. You have a large bedroom with plenty of space, large bathroom with bath and separate shower and exclusive use of your own lounge area with large tv and very comfortable seating. Both Sandy and Marie are friendly, informative, helpful and treat you as if you were family.

Really lovely property ( pictures do not do the property justice). Sandy and Marie were extremely welcoming and considerate.

Breakfast was excellent. Marie prepared our morning meal exactly as we requested. Sandy and Marie treated us as special guests. They drove us to local sites and treated us with an evening cocktail. Best experience ever at a B &B.

It seemed like it was no effort on Marie's part to prepare the breakfasts exactly as requested, quality and quantity could not be faulted. We were made to feel like we were in our own home by the wonderful hosts. We will have no issues for our next visit to Edinburgh in booking with them again. We both feel as if we have made two new friends in Sandy & Marie

Very friendly hosts, gave us a lot of information, very comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. You get more than you need here.

Very good location! Close to the Murrayfield Stadium.

The property was beautiful and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast is was brillant.

Lovely people very welcoming into there home. Recommend highly 👌

Quiet location, only a short walk (30 minutes into Princes St) if you don't want to take the bus. You get the use of the living room with a large TV, a bathroom with shower and bath as well as the bedroom, lots of space. Breakfast was great with many choices.

Exceptional hospitality by the lovely hosts. They welcomed us into their amazing home and made it ours for the weekend. Lovely 35 minute walk to the West end of Princes Street, down tree lined avenues and streets full of the beautiful and historical Edinburgh buildings, but good bus links if we chose not to walk. It was a big advantage having somewhere secure to park the car for the duration of our stay.

From start to finish we were made to feel like part of the family, nothing was too much trouble. Our accommodation was 1st class with amazing breakfasts. Loved our chats. Marie and Sandy are the perfect hosts.
