We were served an excellent breakfast, Our host was very gracious to let us leave our car there early in the morning, before checking in late on the day of our arrival. Our one suggestion for improvement is that the bed pillows should be replaced, as they are all flat.

This is a cozy, comfortable place not far from Edinburgh's city center. The room was quiet and breakfast was delicious. Staff was very attentive and welcoming.

Not close to town. Bus took too long, so we used an Uber to and from property daily. Beds were hard and covers were musty. No lounging area or beverages available. Was presented with a hot Coke when I asked. The food was good and available when you requested. The bathroom was a good size and clean.
