We were only able to spend one evening at this gorgeous, clean and comfortable B&B. The atmosphere at the B&B is simply splendid! From all the little touches of pictures and decorations to the outstanding folks who take care of your every need during your stay, it is simply a wonderful B&B. The owners add to your acceptance into their... More

We were attracted to this B&B from the start of our trip planning. It exceeded our expectations! We received helpful pre-trip messages and responses to questions by email. We were welcomed on our (early) arrival and given suggestions/ directions for getting around and dining the first day. While a moderate walk to the center of Edinburgh, there is also a... More

As we arrived we were greeted by Lydie, who helped us into the car park. Lydie gave us helpful recommendations for dinner and what to do to make the most of our short time in Edinburgh. We had a ground floor room, but this overlooked the garden and was very quiet. Breakfast was very nice and would recommend to any... More

We were in a room on the second floor and the room was spacious and really clean with comfortable beds. The townhouse... More

An absolute hidden gem tucked away down a classic Edinburgh street. Greeted by a warm, bubbly welcome and felt very relaxed as soon as we arrived. Our room was on the top floor and worth every step up! Very comfortable setting with a lovely ambience. Although a very informative book was provided on how to spend our time in Edinburgh,... More

We stayed 3 nights in this great victorian house. We had a spacious room on the top floor with a lovely view over Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth. We felt very welcome and the owners were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. It is in 15 min walking distance to the city center following a nice footpath crossing... More

I'll start by saying that as with everything reviews are down to personal preference. I would have given this B&B a 3.5* if it were an option. This is a good B&B for many reasons (see below) it just wasn't the type of B&B we usually stay in but we accept that City difers greatly from country B&Bs. One big... More

Haya & thank you for your review. I am slightly disheartened about your comments as I really felt that we were covering all of your requests… you specially requested the second floor superior room, which is the same size as the first floor superior used by your brother, the high ceiling in the later makes it a lot more imposing,...

We recently stayed at the Albyn townhouse for two nights. After a long drive up from North Wales which resulted in us being later than planned, we arrived to the most fantastic welcome. We were provided with information on buses and the route to walk into Edinburgh from the Albyn as well as information on all the restaurants in the... More
