Our host was nice and recommended a good pub (The Old Bell) down the road to eat. The room itself was older but clean, enough space, and a good bathroom. The beds are not the most comfortable but they worked fine for the two nights we stayed there. There is a bus stop just down the road for easy transit. It is also only a 20 minute walk into the heart of Edinburgh. A lovely accommodation for the price and location.

We had a lovely stay here! The owner is very kind & let us keep our rental car parked on the property after we checked out so we did not have to find street parking. It’s easy to walk to the city and very clean and cozy! Would stay here again.

This was such a beautiful little gem! My room had such ornate high celings and the decoration was unique and suited to the age of the building. It was clean and the room was kept stocked with hot drinks and biscuits.

This is a lovely heritage property located only 20 minutes walk from the city centre. It's a busy street but that was OK and offered many options for dining, plus pubs and shops. Tea, coffee, water and biscuits were provided by our host and check-in was easy. If visiting Edinburgh in the future, we would definitely book this guest home again.

Enjoyed our stay in this guest house. The area is a bit out of downtown but is walkable, and has a good selection of local restaurants and pubs to choose from. The rooms were clean and comfortable, however the road outside was a little noisy at night. Otherwise, a great stay for the price compared to everywhere else. The owner was very friendly when he checked us in. Thank you!

Good basic room during the very busy Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Fringe Festival. Near bus stops out from central core which made it less expensive and more available. Staff gave us basic information, but would have been helpful to receive more tips about things we should know on how to navigate the city and getting back to the room. No food options in the immediate area.

Lovely and close

Great place close to bus stops and walking distance to the Royal Mile. This house was quaint and clean. A few restaurants and shops down the road made it easy to get a bite to eat and load up with water before we headed to the city.

Spent a very comfortable night here. Eamonn the owner was very helpful allowing me to drop my bags incredibly early. The room was clean and warm with tea and coffee making facilities and some little biscuits, which was a nice touch. The room was as described and as per pictures, so no nasty suprises. Reasonable price for a good size room within walking distance of the centre. I would happily stay again. Thank you Eamonn.
