“Fantastic location on the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

Anne & Phil are perfect hosts. Our room overlooked the Firth of Forth and the sound of waves gently lapping on the beach was a great setting. Joppa's is very convenient to the city with a regular bus service in/out of Edinburgh. Trip takes about 20min and costs 1 pound 30 pence each way. Don't try and drive as it is too busy.

We stayed 2 nights and breakfast was fantastic. Good and hearty to set you up for the day. There is a pub owned by Aussies about 5 min walk down the Esplanade. Can recommend the food. Will be recommending Joppas to our friends.

Room Tip: A room overlooking the beach is perfect.

“Excellent in all ways”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

I could not fault this B&B in any way. Very handy for the centre of Edinburgh, yet in a very pleasant location, quiet and stress free.

“Lovely stress free stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

A beautifully maintained guest house in a tranquil location. The owners showed thoughtfulness and care with their lovely finishing touches, and their friendly but not imposing manner. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.

“Perfect location, lovely hosts.”

I chose Joppa Turrets after seeing the reviews on here and I wasn't disappointed. I stayed here for three nights and I really wish it could have been longer.

The location is fabulous, right on the Promenade with wonderful sea views. You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves - so relaxing.

Anne & Phil are the perfect hosts, so friendly. And Phil has perhaps the most impressive moustache I have ever seen!

Breakfast is a treat, generous and very very tasty. I didn't need lunch, it was so filling!

It's about a 25 minute bus ride into Edinburgh and the buses are really frequent so it's ideally located for the best of both worlds.

In short, Joppa Turrets comes highly recommended.

“Stunning location in quiet area and a very friendly welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

Had a single room with views over the garden and the sea, which looked like a winter wonderland due to loads of snow. At night the soft splashing of the waves could be heard, which was really nice. The room and the bathroom were tidy, clean and comfortable with cosy window seats. The owners were very nice and had no issue with me arriving very late in the evening. Would stay there again any time, highly recommended. I liked the selection of fresh fruits for breakfast.
