Perfectly located, close to centre yet quiet. Quick, efficient and friendly check-in, tea, biscuits and sherry served in our room. Bath and room well-appointed, secure internet access. Buses to town within a few minutes' walk. And then there was breakfast... Freshly baked bread, a mouth-watering menu to choose from or a daily special, all prepared to order by Nici and... More

Perfect location across from a park and an easy walk to all of the key sites. The check-in was effortless and we were immediately served with tea and cookies upon arrival which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel. The breakfasts were the best we had in Scotland. Nici and Robin were perfect hosts, really nice people. Their... More

We stayed with Robin and Nici last Sept for 3 nights. Everything was perfect: great hosts; breakfast was equivalent to a 5 star restaurant; central location; very quiet; park across the street had a quaint golf course; easy access to public transportation. More

I was invited last September to play for an England Croquet team against Scotland in Edinburgh. I chose to stay at Elmview, solely because of its location about 50 yards from The Meadows Croquet Club. Nici and Robin treated me like an international sports star, even though I admitted that I was not in that class. England won the match... More

I stayed at Elmview a few years ago with a friend whilst doing the Edingburgh moon walk. I was so impressed with the accomadation and breakfast that I took my husband back in the summer. The accomadation, food and hospitality was as good as I remembered. Nici and Robin remembered me and treated me as a friend. I would highly... More

My fiancee and I went to Edinburgh last September and stayed here and had a wonderful time. The staff are all very friendly and Robin and Nici were wonderful hosts. Breakfast is served in a communal setting, where you sit with the other guests and all share stories about where you are from and what you plan on seeing that... More

We have stayed at a number of the top B&B's in Edinburgh and this one is definitely the best. Everything that has been said in previous reviews is correct; from the warm welcome you receive, comfort of the rooms, quality of the breakfast and advice you are given by Robin & Nici. We will not be considering anywhere else when... More

We stayed with Nici and Robyn for 3 nights in August 2011 during the festival. It was easily the best B & B we stayed at during our two week stay in Scotland. Our room was hugh and beautifully appointed, and Nici's breakfasts were delicious. Opposite a quiet park, Elmview is just a short walk to the center of town... More

We stayed at Elmview for three nights in August 2011. We had picked the Elmview based on the Trip Advisor reviews that we had read, and we were not disappointed. On our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Nici and Robin into their B&B with fresh baked goods, sherry and friendly conversation. The room was big and comfortable and with... More

We had the warmest of welcomes from Nici and Robin, very helpful literature and discussion on the Edinburgh Festival programmes, an absolutely superb breakfast, an introduction to other international guests, a most comfortable room and even a drawer with items that we might have forgotten. The walk to the town centre through parkland is a delight. A first rate B&B! More
