My husband and I recently returned from a wonderful honeymoon touring Scotland which we ended in style and comfort at Gerald's Place in the beautiful city of Edinburgh!

We stayed with Gerald for 4 nights. The location is perfect, the house is full of details and Gerald is the best host we have ever met. He did his best to make us feel like home. He made our stay unforgettable. We will stay with him again when we are back to Edinburgh. Cris and Carlos.

Our three nights with Gerald felt like we had come home. What a charming man, what comfortable accommodation and what a fabulous location. Gerald has thought of every single thing that might make a traveller's stay more comfortable, from a mini fridge in the room to a bathroom cabinet stocked with quality toiletries. The beds are big and ultra comfortable,... More

The location to Gerald's house is ideal, the house itself is absolutely lovely, and may I say extremely comfortable. We found ourselves struggling to leave the house every morning because we felt so at home. I have to additionally mention Gerald's breakfasts. As he mentions, they are feasts and he gives you a choice of a menu each day!! Edinburgh... More

We stayed at Gerald's Place for 3 nights and as in our previous experience everything was exceptional in every way. Gerald makes one feel welcome and at home the minute he meets you at the door. The accommodation surpasses expectation in every way, lovely bedrooms and baths, amenities, cost and, of course, the excellent organic breakfasts. Gerald offers an extensive... More
