I agree with many of the other posters that Karen offsets some otherwise marginal things about this B&B. She couldn't be more friendly and helpful. And her breakfasts are delicious.

Spent a lovely weekend at the Adam Drysdale and must thank the host for her friendly, caring attitude and also for some excellent tips on where to go and where not to go! The b and b is very central and provides an ideal base for exploring Edinburgh.The rooms were bright and clean. The breakfast was first class!

We stayed at Adam Drysdale for 7 days in August 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Karen is amazing! She cooked a great, fabulous, large breakfast, entertained us with stories, engaged all guests so we all felt comfortable and provided local tips to restaurants and events to ensure we had a great stay. Adam Drysdale is close to a park,... More

Thank you Karen for the really lovely welcome. The room was nice and homely. Service was fantastic. Amazing location, 10 minute walk to the heart of the city!
