I would highly recommend the Southside Guest House! The rooms are very spacious and comfy. Franco and Lynne are wonderful hosts who provide a delicious breakfast every morning. They even print out the weather forecast each day for you! I was delighted at the location of the Guest House. It is within easy walk to the city center, although if... More

We stayed 3 nights Aug. 24 -27, during the busy festival season. My husband & I stayed in Room 8, which is probably the most beautiful room at the inn. It was decorated Art Deco style, with a four poster bed, leather couch, a sitting area, and French doors that opened up to a backyard garden. This was our first... More

We loved this place. Our room had high ceilings, art, vintage and unique furniture, and a TV/DVD player with a selection of movies in the hallway. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very helpful. Only disappointment was that the walk to downtown is a bit far (but doable) and through some cheap areas. Most of the restaurants around...

Very nice place to stay! Easy to book before the trip. Good communication. We stayed here in July 2011 for two nights. We met nice people and lovely hosts. Really good food was offered for breakfast. Additionally we got very helpful information for our tour! Well worth the money!!! We will definitely come back next time! More

Our family of four enjoyed two nights at Southside at the start of our 10 day UK vacation. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. We even took advantage of the DVD library one night. Franco and Lynne are very accommodating, warm and friendly hosts. Our inbound flight from Chicago was... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our room was perfect and breakfast was lovely. Franco was very kind to us when we had to leave early in the morning to get to the airport - he left us a basket of food in our room the previous night. It took us about half an hour to... More

I stayed here with my husband and with my sister who was visiting us in the UK from the States. We had a charmed week as the weather was so good! The owners were on holiday but we were well looked after by Derek and Coranne who were extremely helpful and the breakfasts were lovely with all sorts of delightful... More

We had a great stay at Southside. We were warmly greeted and allowed to stow our baggage, even though we arrived long before check-in. We were given lots of helpful tips and directions. Breakfast was lovely. There were several great restaurant and pub options in the immediate vicinity, and the city center was only a 15-20 minute walk. The room... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a romantic trip to Edinburgh. We booked the room in a hurry and didn't really have much time to research the guest house, but when we arrived our concerns were instantly put at ease. The couple who run the place are wonderful. Super friendly and attentive, they made our stay an absolute pleasure.... More

My husband and I recently enjoyed a three night stay at the lovely and gracious Southside Guest House. Everything was wonderful and the host, Franco, most welcoming and helpful. The location of the house is excellent, within walking distance of everything you might want to see and also convenient to buses. The house is decorated beautifully and provided a restful... More
