“Walking weekend, perfect place and hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Gifford House was a beautiful temporary home for our 6 day stay in Edinburgh. Our room was large, comfortable and exceptionally clean. It was handy to all types of restaurants (recommend the Salisbury Arms just up the street on a weekday but not on a Friday). David and Margaret were the perfect hosts where nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was ample and they had a good selection. We were just across the street from the bus stop which made it simple to go into the city. Great place to stay. The Gifford is within easy walking distance of Arthurs Seat in Holyrood Park or about a 1.5 mile walk to Waverley station and Holyrood Palace

“Loved this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

The Gifford House was a beautiful home. We even took pictures of the ceilings. It was clean and handy to restaurants (reccommend the Salisbury House just up the street). David and Margaret were the perfect hosts. Kept our luggage for us while we toured on our last day in the city.The breakfast was ample and they had a good selection. We were just accross the street from the bus stop and made it simple to go into the city. Great place to stay.

Room Tip: Front room looks out to the street which I prefer.

“Excellent accomodation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

We stayed at The Gifford for 4 nights in August and were very impressed. The Host and Hostess were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were large and comfortable and exceptionally clean. Food was yummy and plentiful - nothing was too much trouble!

Really well placed for walking AND using public transport to get about - within easy walking distance of Arthurs Seat and Holyrood Palace. We will return.
