Stayed for three nights with friends, visiting Edinburgh. Chose this B and B as it was located just outside the city but within walking distance. What a great choice it was!

It is beautifully appointed and the owner Gareth, was a superb host and bon vivant with an excellent knowledge of what to do and where to go in Edinburgh. The rooms are a good size... More
