Straven Guest House was the perfect place for our stay in Edinburgh! Our room was beautiful, spacious yet cozy and had a wonderful view of the sea. I adore the lounge available to guests on the second floor. Mac is a delight and helped us with planning our adventures in Edinburgh. Breakfast was fantastic! Loved all of the options they... More

Straven Guest House was a really charming, lovingly tended B&B outside of Edinburgh about 15 minutes. Our room had the most lovely view of the Firth of Forth and you are only 1 block off of the beach with a wide esplanade to walk on. Mac and Marian were fantastic, making us feel most welcome. They were also a fountain... More

We decided last minute on a trip to Edinburgh by which time availability was limited in the City Centre but fortunately we came across the Straven, a nice, traditional guest house.

We stayed at Straven Guest house for 2 nights in October. Everything at Straven Guest house was first class from the welcome to the room to the breakfast. The guest house is located about 15 - 25 minutes from the train station by bus. We did have a bit of trouble finding the correct bus so we ended up taking... More

I stayed for just one night and was given Room 3 which is normally a family room. Mac and Marian are lovely hosts, friendly and hospitable. I was really happy with my room which was spotlessly clean, warm and comfy with a sofa, desk etc and a good view of the sea. I went to nearby bistro Espy's for dinner....... More
