We had a wonderful two weeks in Scotland, stayed at Valentine on two occassions, before and after our Highland 3-day tour. First time we were in the main building, rooms are at the top of a wonderful listed victorian staircase (180 years old!), with a gallery of Scottish words on the wall all the way up to the guest house... more

If you are staying in the "annexe rooms" across the street then, be warned, they look nothing like the pictures on the website! The floors had no carpet and were dirty - in fact the room reminded me of student accommodation. 3 rooms shared one bathroom, which did get very busy in the mornings.

The rooms were very clean and tidy, only complaint was the noisy chain flush in bathroom. The breakfast wasnt great though, which... more

The breakfast was large but plate cold. Plates and cutlery very basic and saw the juice they used was from Asda basic range. Had to set my alarm as... more

An easy walk to the Old Town and the Castle, this bed and breakfast has the very best location. There are a lot of steps in Edinburgh, its all on hills, there are some to the Valentine, but our room was just two floors up and at least it was a wide staircase easy with the luggage, not some cramped... more
