Very freindly staff, delicious breakfast that was served doorside on time and easy walk to bus stops or curbside taxi/uber pick up. Bed and pillows were especially comfy. Very welcoming feeling just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh.

We had an amazing experience at the guest house! The host is really kind, the breakfast is amazing, it’s in a quiet neighbourhood on walking distance to the city centre but it’s also very easy to go by bus, the rooms are very comfortable and overall I would totally recommend to stay here :)

Although I had no bathroom ensuite, I did have my own private bathroom. The breakfast was great. I was able to leave my luggage there before check in time, which gave me time to explore a bit. Bus stops very close by.

We have stayed here before during the Edinburgh Fringe. This time it felt more impersonal, with breakfast delivered to our room, and no opportunity to meet with other guests

A delightful property with a friendly host. Their gardens are gorgeous. Conveniently located to city center Edinburgh that is walkable (but there is a bus stop nearby). The property offers a delicious breakfast and very clean and comfortable rooms. There really is no reason not to select this property.

Richard is an attentive host who provides a delicious breakfast in your room.
The property is well located, within walking distance of the old town, and the room is spacious and comfortable.

The staff was fantastic and it was very clean. Couldnt beat the location. Only 10 minute bus ride to the mile and the bus stop was only a block away.
