I found the decor , furniture, large rooms and owners immaculate. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Owners attentive to your every need.

This was our third stay at the Aaran Lodge in as many years, as we are regular visitors to the Fringe Festival. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. Teresa is very welcoming. We also like the location - the regular buses into Edinburgh stop virtually outside the guest house which means that we can forget about our car until we leave. Since discovering Aaran Lodge we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!

A bit out of the city but on main bus route (15-20 mins to city centre). Even going around by car was easy. Clean and comfy. Near a beach very suitable for a quiet walk. Owner was really really helpful.

The owners of this guest house have clearly spent a lot of money on furniture and furnishings. However, the chairs were so stacked with cushions that there was no space to sit down. Beds too came with both a duvet and a heavy quilted cover which had to be removed before sleeping - even in Edinburgh, it was a warm summer's night. The impression was of clutter - albeit expensive clutter. Breakfast was certainly billed as a treat in store, but sadly the reality was quite different. Sausages were cheap and pappy and the fried egg rubbery. Scrambled "egg" was dubious - was it made from real eggs or reconstituted?
