The room was rather small, but thankfully we were allocated an attached single room to use for storage and space, which we greatly appreciated. Bed was comfortable and linens clean and fresh. Ensuite bathroom was a usable size, with plenty of very hot water. Breakfast was well above our expectations and was well prepared with a good number of options to select from. It was delivered to the room promptly each day. Parking on the premises was not at all safe or accessible. Luckily we were able to park within easy walking distance of the house each evening. We enjoyed several dinners within close walking distance, as unknown to us and not indicated on website: takeaway food is not allowed to be consumed in the room. We found this very inconvenient, especially after a very long day of site seeing! But, we understand the reasons for implementing this, and feel it is fair enough.

Our party of 4 had spacious rooms. They were exceptionally clean. And there was a wide variety and hearty enough options for the continental breakfast to tide us over until lunchtime. Close to the bus stops. Would definitely stay there again & highly recommend.

Would use again, and recommend to friends

House is situated in quiet suburban side street, only a short walk from main walk from where buses to/from Edinburgh city centre regularly. Details regarding check-in and access to premises and room were provided digitally in advance. Property is well appointed and well maintained. Our room was bright, spacious and clean. Function over fuss reflects the decoration and fittings. Breakfast (continental) was freshly prepared to order and very good.
