Very happy to stay with John and his family. He waited for us till 9.30p.m in the evening and gave us nice and useful attention and suggestion about the room, facility and city. The triple room was very big and clean and the breakfast room was really lovely. We tried full and light breakfast, and both were good. Especially on... More

We highly recommend McCraes's B&B. John was helpful from the first email contact through our last night in Edinburgh. The room was clean and cozy, the bed very comfortable with organic cotton sheets, and a sitting room is available to guests. John uses organic ingredients to create a delicious and as hearty a breakfast and one desires. The hospitality was... More

Breakfast was simple but good ( we did not... More

What a shame that I only stayed one night! Excellent value for money, warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful en-suite rooms with original character... I could go on... Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this b&b to anyone or stay here again myself! Helen

Everything was wonderful. The hotel is very clean and a small (total 4 rooms), but there is everything for a good rest. A little away from the center, but in a quiet and safe place. Nearby there is a shop where one can buy everything necessary. The owner of the hotel John is very nice and friendly. Breakfasts are simple,... More

My husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon. The first, fifth and 6th night of our trip were spent in the comfortable large beds and beautiful tall ceiling rooms. John is a wonderful host who gave us some great tips and great conversation. The Broughton area is great for eating out and wandering around without being right in the... More

My wife and I stayed at McRae's on our Honeymoon last month. It was our first stop in Scotland and I couldn't have been happier! The rooms are large, very clean and beautiful. The location is great to get anywhere in Edinburgh. John (the owner) is friendly, helpful and puts together a breakfast that is perfect. He was also very... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quiet and well located B&B. The place had a very comfortable bed and was just ten minutes walk from Princes Street. We were made to feel very welcome by John and will stay here again when visiting Edinburgh.

Once again we have had a lovely stay at McCrae's; very central, easy walk to just about anywhere in central Edinburgh/all the sights. John, the owner, makes you so welcome and comfortable. Simply can't fault it. We will definitely be back. Thanks again!
