This guest is a really lovely place to stay, 20 minute walk from Wavery train station, plenty of places to eat 5-10 mins walk away. The building itself is stunning and the continental breakfast is a bonus we weren’t expecting!

Beautiful guest house, highly recommend!

This is a fantastic guest house, everything about it was beautifully presented and understated. The breakfast was perfect, one of the best we’ve had with great choice on offer and all fresh. It was such good value for money, genuinely couldn’t fault it. We will absolutely be back. Thank you.

I stayed at Six Brunton Place for six nights and can’t recommend it highly enough! Hilary is a wonderful host and has created a beautiful, comfortable, and luxurious home away from home for her guests. Breakfasts are delicious! There is a bus stop across the street, and it’s an easy walk to the Edinburgh tram. After spending the days exploring Edinburgh it was so nice to return to a cozy room with the most comfortable bed, and a cup of tea. Will definitely stay there again.

Spotless. Lovely decor with carefully curated items that evoke earlier times. Bed very comfortable. Robes and toiletries were a pleasure. Enjoyed the tub and separate shower. Breakfast was delicious. The location is only a short walk from Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile. Hosts were congenial and were helpful about a forgotten item.

6 Brunton Place was a step back in time, but with all the subtle amenities and luxuries of modern day! Our host Hillary was impeccable, polite, friendly, and very informative. The breakfasts were superb, well laid out, and beautifully placed. The furnishings were well cared for,. Pieces, and made you feel like you were back in time. The accommodations provided clean and quiet rooms, spacious enough to spread out yet cozy enough to call home for a few days. The heated floor in the bathroom was a bonus! it was a lovely neighborhood, just across from Carlton Hill. was very walkable to all locations, Including the palace of Holyrood house, walking trails, and the city proper. I would surely return to 6 Brunton Place again, and highly recommend it.

YANG

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Overall, the property was acceptable and met basic requirements for our stay. It's fundamentally okay, but there were a few notable downsides that prevented it from being a more positive experience. 1. Breakfast Timing is Inflexible: Breakfast is strictly served starting at 8:00 AM. If you need to leave earlier for tours or activities, there is **no flexibility** to get breakfast before this time. Unfortunately, the host was **unresponsive to requests** regarding this, meaning you simply miss out if you need an early start. 2. **Room Atmosphere:** Our room felt quite **dark and slightly damp**. It lacked natural sunlight, which likely contributed to the damp feeling. While clean enough, the overall atmosphere wasn't particularly pleasant. 3. **Communication Challenges:** Communication with the property manager could be difficult. They were primarily **located within the house** and weren't always readily available or responsive to messages, making it hard to address minor needs or questions promptly. **In summary,** the property is basically functional and gets the job done for a place to sleep. However, the inflexible breakfast policy, the somewhat gloomy room environment, and the communication difficulties meant it **didn't live up to our expectations**. It's passable if these specific points aren't deal-breakers for you, but manage your expectations accordingly.

I stayed at here with my friend, brilliant location for going to see a show at the playhouse. Plenty of places to eat nearby and close enough to walk to the train station. The room was very well presented, clean and comfortable. The host was lovely and very friendly and helpful.
