After arriving in Edinburugh a day earlier than planned we found all hotels fully booked but got sent in the direction of Pilrig st, glad we did, great B&B, comfy bed, lovely warm room and close to restaurants.

We stayed The Conifers in June and were made to feel very welcome. David who runs the place was very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and gave us some great tips on places to see and good restaurants to eat at. Highly recommended for location and friendliness, will be coming back in the future!
