Maria at the Abcorn was delightful and very helpful as was her father. Our first evening we asked if she would recommend a place to eat that "if you are in Edingburgh for the first time it's the must eat place.. . The Whiski on High St was her pick.

We stayed at the Abcorn Guest House in Spetember 2011 - there was just 2 of us. The Guest House was easy to find and in a good location. There was an abundance of buses running into the City Centre and they run until quite late on the way back. Maria and family are really friendly and there's a real... More

The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious, a warm welcome is assured, and the regular return of... More
