Last minute booking was the perfect choice, excellent location for Edinburgh attractions, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Elegant breakfast room with beautiful china. Spacious room with large comfortable bed, we felt like lord and lady of the manor. The only down point was the two flights of stairs to carry our cases, but the views over the gardens were... More

This B&B is located in a peaceful and elegant residential crescent, within walking distance of Princes Street. What stood out for us was how spacious the room was, as well as the tasteful old-fashioned decoration. The room and bathroom were clean and hot water was plentiful. The proprietor was helpful and accommodated our late arrival time (notified in advance). The... More

Number 11 Moray Place has catered for me on multiple occasions, and each time it has been a truly memorable experience. I would not suggest any other place in Edinburgh as this is the best accomodation you will find. The house is very traditional and is full of its own History, which Mrs Shanks is always keen to share. The... More

Myself and a friend booked a room at the Georgian residence for a weekend we travelu over 150 miles only to find no one at the property at the time we arranged to arrive. This being in the evening we rang all the door buzzers called and emailed the contact details ee had no one reply. So now we were... More

This is a lovely find in a part of the city I'd never been to before. Although it's not in the centre you're just a few minutes stroll from the huslte and bustle that Edinburgh has to offer. The accomodation itself is more traditional than modern, but that fits the style of house it's presented it. It feels really homely... More

We enjoyed our brief stay so much we asked Mrs. Shanks (the very charming and hospitable owner) if we could stay another night. Unfortunately the large room we slept in on the 3rd floor which overlooked the back garden wasn't available for the 2nd night, but... More

When I arrived I could not believe this was where I was going to stay it was such an amazing house. Lovely big rooms with great views. The breakfast was excellent and Florence Shanks could not have been more helpful, a wonderful hostess with great knowledge of what is on in Edinburgh and great places to eat. I will definatly...

An elegant Georgian terrace nestling in a very attractive yet peaceful part of Edinburgh's newtown. The accomodation is quirky but well furnished with period pieces. Mrs Shanks is very welcoming and has good knowledge of local restaurants and sights, and is also happy to lend a key to the well maintained and extensive communal gardens nearby. The breakfasts are varied... More

Spacious room, superb breakfast, central location. However, the best aspect of this charming Georgian residence was the lively and interesting breakfast conversation with others from around the world.The owner, Florence Shanks, is hospitable and interested in whatever is happening in Edinburgh. As there is no elevator, there was a bit of a climb to our 3rd floor bedroom, but this... More
