Loved my stay in this beautiful, inspiring ,very centrally located family home. Both my host and hostess did their upmost to make us comfortable, even spoil us. A memorable stay

I stayed with my extensive family towards the end of August and decided that it was a place to cherish. It almost feels wrong to advertise as I would prefer to keep this gem to myself. However, I couldn't fail to praise this wonderful B&B once I had stayed there. Heritage is evident and Robert Louis Stevenson, former owner of this house and venerated Scottish author, was a huge draw for me. I was not disappointed. Our host, John, was happy to discuss the minutiae of Stevenson's life and works. I was most impressed and had a number of fascinating talks with him, and other guests, who are all encouraged to eat with the family creating a truly delightful, cultural atmosphere. One can not fail to mention the hostess, Felicitas, whose kindness and humour are of epic proportions and who seems to emit energy. She offered brilliant advice about the city and what to see/do, and was a huge character, full of life and integrity, and was able to switch between languages with incredible ease. I highly recommend this establishment and its wonderful staff, not to mention the spacious and well equipped bedrooms/bathrooms. It was truly a pleasure all round, and SO much better than some soulless chain. Certainly a great complement to the Festival. Also, if you are lucky enough to have dinner, you would be wise to ask for the freshly-caught scottish salmon. An absolute treat. Much the same as the Stevenson House itself.

Had an awesome 9 day stay in this special historic family home - fantastic central location, comfortable spacious bedroom, wonderful hosts! Tip: must ask about the affordable evening meal option - delicious 3 course dinners.

This warm, exuberant family home is one of life's delights: to stay somewhere that enhances your trip and adds to the tales you come home with. Our room was peaceful and a beautiful elegant sanctuary after a day or evening out in the heart of the city while the Festival and the Fringe were on. Breakfast is both relaxed and stimulating - a great sense of ease and welcome but also an international and eclectic mix of guests, family and friends. The hosts go that extra mile to include you and help with anything. We loved it and will definitely return again.
