The accommodation here was perfect! We had a really nice girly room with a makeup table. We used to come by bus which is only about 10 minutes from the city centre. The personal was so nice to us, everything we needed was there. They were replying on every message and were so helpful. The cleaning lady was also so nice and every morning brought us a package of food (breakfast). I was so surprised about that and it was amazing. Definitely highly recommend this accommodation in a really beautiful area of Scotland 😊

This place is just brilliant! Run by the lovely Lydie, it’s packed full of thoughtful touches and details that made our stay super comfortable and enjoyable! The Bruntsfield area is wonderful - a short walk away from the green area of The Meadows. The area has loads of lovely local, artisan shops and great cafes and restaurants. All just a 20 min walk from Edinburgh Castle and other sights. Just perfect place!
