  Superb place to stay.

  Absolutely beautiful house chosen by us to stay at for a mini break as a base to discover Edinburgh, such a lovely warm welcome by Kath and really helpful pointers on finding our way around via the endless buses, the house is large and spotless, parking spaces for 5 cars, bus stop almost outside the door and the room we had was rear facing on the first floor and was lovely and spacious, very comfy… Read moreAbsolutely beautiful house chosen by us to stay at for a mini break as a base to discover Edinburgh, such a lovely warm welcome by Kath and really helpful pointers on finding our way around via the endless buses, the house is large and spotless, parking spaces… Read more

  Gracious host, beautiful accommodations.

  We had a lovely double room on the main floor facing the back of the house. Cath was a gracious hostess, helping us get oriented to the city and showing us how to use the public bus systems. The continental breakfasts were delicious and filling. Highly recommend for couples or solo travelers.We had a lovely double room on the main floor facing the back of the house.

  Lovely b&b, lovely breakfast, lovely hosts! Definitely recommend!

  Avoid attic room 10 (classic)

  Marketed as a classic room with coombed ceiling - should have read - converted attic room only accessed via extremely steep dangerous twisty stairs.
