Everything was always tidy and ready for use. The owners provided contact information available for questions and were present enough that I didn't need to look for them. The area was very quiet and relaxing, perfect after busy crowded days in the city center.

This was one of the best B&B's ever. The old townhouse was located in a beautiful cul-de-sac, about 15 minutes beautiful walk from the historic center of Edinburgh - several walks to choose through the parks and along the canal nearby. The room was just amazing with floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful decoration and small garden below. Big bonus was also a great small restaurant around the corner (reservation needed) and easy distance to the airport. There are 1-2 parking places available - book beforehand!

Everything was absolutely perfect! The room was very cozy, this was the cleanest place I have ever been to!! I was amazed The hostess was very nice and communicative, she really takes care of her guests making sure they have the best time. I appreciated every little detail showing how much she cared for her guests (bath bombs and salts, mini face towels, tea and coffee in the room). It is not a hotel but a private house (which we knew before staying and we were absolutely fine with it but perhaps it may not be as clear to everyone) 6 minutes walk to the train station, 5 mins to Tesco and Lidl, very nice neighberhood, very quiet and safe. We were able to get to the center of Edinbourgh in 20 mins. Definitely recommend it!

I am very satisfied with my stay at this place. Ms. Margaret was a gracious and welcoming host. Everything was neat and clean, and the overall atmosphere was truly pleasant. I would highly recommend this room to anyone. The location is also excellent—just a 7-minute walk to the bus stop, with only a 15-minute ride to the city center. Both the conditions and the ambiance were definitely a plus.

the family gave us a really warm welcome, the room had everything we needed, the location of the house is very convenient, the bus stop is right next to it and it takes about half an hour to get to the city center. we loved chatting to the family and we also met their amazing cats! Anna gave us some valuable recommendations about the city.
