Just returned from a short trip to Edinburgh, where my Mum and I stayed at Angela's lovely Abercorn Guest House in Portabello. Angela was welcoming and friendly our rooms were comfy and breakfasts were good too! The Guest House is a short bus ride from Edinburgh's City Centre (number 15 or 26 bus). The seashore is a three minute walk... More

My husband and I stayed here on a trip to see some of the UK and Europe. We booked our stay here because we like to stay at B&B's for the small atmosphere and hospitality, and the reviews on this B&B seemed to fit our taste. Little did we know that when we arrived it would end up being the... More

On arrival we discovered that our booked twin had been replaced by a double and, not having any other room available, Angela immediately offered to ‘rehome’ us at her cost. But, having read the good reviews, we wanted to stay, so she rearranged the furniture and squeezed a camp bed in for us – and gave us a discount. It... More

I am unsure where to start with this, and previous reviews are spot on where people have said that when you walk through the door you are greeted by the warmest welcome ever by the most gorgeous Angela. We arrived early, just to tell Angela that we would check in later, but we were immediately shown to our room which... More

This guesthouse is owned by Angela and her husband and from the moment you walk in they make you feel at home. They are very friendly, welcoming and helpful and this makes the difference in this guesthouse compared to the cold hotels. It is situated in Portobello, close to the beach and approximately 20 minutes from the city centre by... More

We wanted to stay at a nice guest house on a rare long weekend away, to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and Abercorn Guest House was actually better than expected. Wonderful rooms, charming and historic building, some of the best guest house breakfasts imaginable and friendly personal service. Angela puts her heart and soul into running this place - and...
