Lovely restored house in a neighborhood (more like a B&B). There is a bus that runs into Edinburgh proper or you can take the mile walk. The hotel gives very good recommendations for local dining. Parking can be difficult (limited on-street parking for non-residents). No eating in the rooms.

Perfect stay in Edinburgh

A great stay in a beautiful Guest House, which is spotlessly clean and decorated to a very high standard. The host was amazing and his knowledge on local places to eat and whisky is superb. The breakfast was lovely and there was loads of choice. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cold showers early morning due to the owner turning off the water heater at night, and not telling us until we experienced a lack of hot water. Since no breakfast option at property, location wasn't ideal for dining options.
