“Lovely House, Lovely People, Lovely Dog!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We recently stayed in Ellesmere house and were so impressed with both the standard of accommodation and the friendliness of the family.

We arrived early on a Friday morning while Ruth was in the middle of serving breakfasts, our room wasn’t quite ready but in the mean time we were offered coffee and toast while Murdo (Ruth’s husband) chatted away and marked places of interest on a map of Edinburgh for us, we waited no more than 20 mins before our room was ready. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere throughout the house and you really do get the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble for them to do.

The location is fantastic, as it only about a 10 to 15 min walk from the Royal Mile, while the B&B itself is situated in a lovely quite area. Breakfast was of a really high quality too, lots of choice. Not to mention the wonderful Molly the dog. We would defiantly stay here again if going back to Edinburgh.

“Great stay”

comfortable room, great breakfast, quiet. The managers were very kind. The only little problem, rooms do not have a desk. However, free wifi was working very well, and I managed to work anyway. The location is perfect to visit the city.

“One of the best guest houses we have stayed in.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

My wife and I have just returned from Edinburgh and want to comment that Ellesmere House proved one of the best guest houses we have stayed in. The breakfast of porridge, varied cooked breakfast and delicious fruit platter with Greek Yoghurt was excellent. We were given much kindness throughout our three nights with nothing too much trouble. Our room was one of the ones with simply a shower but when we asked for a bath we were simply given access to another room, which was empty so we could use that one.

All in all a beautifully quiet, peaceful and very enjoyable stay.

“Definitely will come back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Staying here on our New Year holidays. This is the best guest house i have ever been to. We enjoyed every minute of our staying here. The room was large and perfectly furnished (very stylish and excellent, with lovely details), beautiful view from the window. Breakfasts were superb and the dining room is perfect. Very good location, quiet street, The Meadows in front of the house, but close to the main city attractions (10 min approx.)
Many thanks to the hosts for their warm welcome, very nice couple (and gorgeus Molly, of course). Love to come back!
