The breakfast was fantastic well cooked & presented it will keep you going most of the day. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the whole house is furnished to a very high standard, this is reflected throughout. The owners were extremely friendly, providing an excellent service during our stay, we found it to be very good value. an easy walk to princes street, Tram works are not helping this beautiful city.

“An excellent B & B close to the centre of Edinburgh”

My wife and I found this delightful little guest house with the help of Edinburgh Tourist Centre. The patron made us very welcome showing us to a comfortable, beautifully furnished ground floor room with ideal en suite facilities. The breakfasts were superb! A wide chioce on offer from fressh fruit, yoghurt and meusli to porage with whisky and cream followed by bacon, egg, sausage, black pudding and tomato! We were pleased that the local bus service was very close at hand with frequent buses to the city centre less than two miles away. Our landlady could not have been more helpful. We were only sorry we were able to stop just two days. We shall return!
