My husband and I stayed at Gil Dun for 4 nights. We were surprised that the owners were out of town but we were in very good hands with David and Bill. We had just arrived to Scotland and had many questions. Bill and David were informative, hospitable, and interested in our experiences. In particular the conversations during breakfast were... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would strongly recommend this Guest House to anyone travelling to Edinburgh. The staff are friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, very clean, and outfitted wonderfully. The property brings you close enough to the city centre without all of the noise and clutter.

My second visit. Just as nice as the first. I felt more like I was going back to visit friends than staying in a B&B. These guys give a whole new meaning to hospitality.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed excellent comfortable accommodation, clean facilities, delicious breakfasts and a welcome second to none! We must thank Gerry for... More

We stayed at the Gil Dun whilst visiting Edinburgh, to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. It was a quiet location but within walking distance of the city centre, and on a bus route. The rooms we had were decorated to a high standard, the beds were very comfortable and all was very clean. The breakfast was cooked very nicely and... More

Just when I thought things couldn't get any... More
