We stayed at Number 11 for two nights in late November. The house was beautiful, perched at the top of the victorian era buildings in New Town. It was an easy walk to places for dinner and to Old Town. The hosts were the 'leave you to your day' type rather than 'stay and chat' - which was fine by... More

11 Nelson St. is on a great location to explore Edinburgh. 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile. Our room was very large and comfortable. It is a 3 flight walk up the stairs to get to the apartment but worth the treck. Our hostess Ingsay was very helpful She got us a cab to the airport at 6:15am. THe... More

We stayed for five days with our daughter and enjoyed a lovely stay with people that felt like old friends. I can't say enough about our host gracious welcome and the condition of our rooms. If you are looking for a quiet hamlet, just steps from all the attractions of the city...this is your place!

I had the opportunity to stay at Ingsay and Bill's fine B&B during my recent trip to Edinburgh. The room had plenty of space, a thoroughly modern ensuite bath and lots of charm. I enjoyed the breakfast so much I asked for the muesli recipe! The only caution I would give is that there are a three flights of stairs... More

It was so nice to be back in Edinburgh and enjoy the home-away-from-home comfort of Ingsay and Bill's place at 11 Nelson St. It was just as I remembered, and just what I needed. Filled with art and books, warmth and beauty, and the easy-going nature of our hosts. I was thrilled to be staying in the same spacious and... More

Stayed at 11 Nelson Street with my boyfriend at the beginning (2 nights) and the end of our stay (1 night) in Scotland and had a wonderful time. We stayed in two different rooms, and they were both lovely with nice extra touches. The B&B is in an older building with a lot of character. Alice was a wonderful host... More

Although it is is true that the staircase leading to this B & B is long and rather bleak, the flat that awaits at the top of the climb is full of light and colour. It is a real privilege for the traveller to see inside this Georgian townhouse, and to have a glimpse of the life of its owners... More

We booked 11 Nelson Street in April 2012 for an August 2012 visit and confirmed via email that we would be arriving just after 9pm. We arrived on time and it was very disappointing to find no one there and no sign of life in the propety. We tried calling, texting and emailing the owners. After one hour of standing... More

My friend and I arrived by train and had only a 20 minute walk to 11 Nelson Street. It is centrally located in a lovely street near parkland. Yes, there are a few flights of stairs to the front door but we did not find this problem, even after a full day of walking! The B&B is clean and roomy,... More
