We had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing break in Edinburgh partly thanks to our choice of accommodation. The guesthouse is in a good location for the city centre, the rooms are spacious and warm, the breakfasts were excellent and Norrie and Marion are the perfect hosts who know how to make you feel welcome. Many thanks. more

We would like to say a very big Thank You to Marion and Norman for their hospitality last weekend. The McDonald Guesthouse is a step above any Guesthouse and many Hotels we have stayed in. The location is perfect and do go to the restaurants and pubs recommended by Marion and Norman, the seafood pasta at Jollys was the best... more

Within an easy walk of the Royal Mile and train station, I am happy to say that the MacDonald has much more than location in in favour! The lovely Heather (who was running the B&B while Marion, the owner, was away on holiday) looked after me brilliantly during my stay - weather it was the exceptional breakfast (the porridge and... more

Restaurants were an easy walk, as was the castle and... more

In walking distance from the Center (+/- 15 min), the location is ideal to discover Edinburgh. We loved the place and would highly recommand it to anyone wanting... more

Marion and Norman are really warm and friendly, and were great hosts! They provided useful information about the city, places of interest and dining places. The triple room that we had was cozy and really lovely. Overall, we had a superb experience with The McDonald Guesthouse, and its a pity that our stay was so short. We'll definitely choose to... more
