This was my first ever B+B experience and even though I'm not sure if I will choose these types of accommodations again, the host Bill, could likely make a convert out of anyone. Our room, on the top floor, was comfortable, clean and a good value. The location was close enough to all major attractions including the Royal Mile, the... More

We stayed at the Garlands in early August with our three teenaged children. Bill was a very warm, friendly host and was great with our kids. The breakfast was excellent, the best we had at B&B's in the UK. He makes especially good porridge! It was an easy, short trip downtown on the bus. We highly recommend the Garlands. More

The welcome was warm, the room very clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast fantastic. Bill the host was enthusiastic and full of local knowledge. I have stayed in Edinburgh many times but this was the best - look no further! More

Bill who is the on-site manager of Garlan's is simultaneoulsy a warm and engaging host; he made us feel very much at home. Add to this that Garland's is a very tastefully and warmly furnished house with a lot of period accents. Accomodations were excellent, breakfast was superb and the service was great. More

My partner and I had a great stay At Garland's Guest House. Located on Pilrig Street, which seems to be B&B central in Edinburgh, it was easy to find, very clean, comfortable, and within walking distance of the tourist destinations. Sometimes I feel a bit odd staying at a B&B since it is a stranger's home, but Bill was quite... More

We have stayed here a couple of times and have to say this is one of the best guest houses in Edinburgh. Bill, the proprietor, is freindly and helpful. The guest house itself is spotlessly clean and tidy. The dining room (where you have breakfast) is stunningly beautiful and the breakfast table on a par with the very best. Pilrig... More

Were lucky enough to stay at Garlands for two nights on a recent trip to Scotland. Bill is very personable and happy to help making everyone feel welcome. Our family occupied the two upper rooms and found them to be very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast in the morning was made to order and very filling. Our eleven year old son... More
