Stayed for a wedding in the area and everywhere else was booked up because it was a bank holiday weekend and thought the price seemed reasonable. I would have better paying more to sleep in the city even though I would have had to get a taxi out. The service was terrible, felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The room was... More

We had travelled 4 hours in the car on New Year's Eve and were happy to get to the guest house for 1:30pm to make the most of our day. We parked outside and knocked on the door but there was no answer. There was a note on the door with two mobile numbers to ring if there was no... More

The Harvest Guest House has been leased out and has rebranded itself the Portobello Guesthouse. We arrived at 5pm as indicated on our reservation form, when it was already dark and very cold, only to find the place empty and no one answering the doorbell or our repeated knocking. Not impressed given we had a 16 month old baby with... More

I stayed at this so called guest house with a group of friends. We were greeted by two young children who looked to be about 5 and 6 who then began to run in and out of the kitchen putting eggs on the table. We were then allocated our rooms where upon 6 women were put in one room together... More

This was a perfectly acceptable hotel for the money. Don't forget, you get what you pay for and it's no good expecting 5-star service for a 1-star price. The room was clean and comfortable. The owner was a lovely man and very attentive and breakfast was good. The Edinburgh bus service is superb - you can get into the centre... More

This was the first stay of our first trip to Scotland and it was most pleasant. Although the weather was stormy, the views of the water and the beach were spectacular. The room and bath were clean and adequate. Breakfast was hot and tasty and the service was very good. Transportation was minutes away. Sadol was a gracious and helpful... More

We chose the Harvest House as we were trying to stay within an under-$100 budget for lodging, a challenge in Scotland (and most of the UK). It was easily accessible by bus from Waverly Station (rail) and the day passes for the buses were wonderful. On arrival we were upgraded to a larger room because we were ahead of season.... More

I was disappointed with this B&B. We were in Edinburgh for the first few days of the festival and wanted somewhere reasonably priced to stay. The Harvest was reasonably priced and clean but is in need of some redecoration. The one thing we were hoping for was a decent Scottish breakfast but the portions were meagre and I swear that...

If you want a cheap stay in Edinburgh - I would recommend here. It's in a quaint area called Portobello which is on the forth coast to the north. The B&B itself was listed as 1* and it does live up to this. The heating was on all night so we were a bit hot in our room. The bed's... More
