Very friendly and peaceful.
We arrived late due an issue on the train but we had a warm welcome. The room was lovely and it was so quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was fitted in around us, as i had a very early start, and was freshly cooked. Highly recommend this for a calm and quiet break.

This property is a 1790 home converted for lodging with updated plumbing, electricity, and wifi. Breakfast was delicious and huge! The owner/host is the BEST. David is helpful and friendly for all the places to see in Edinburgh and how to get around. A bus stop is very close by for transportation down to the Royal Mile and back. A really nice pub is close with delicious fish and chips. The property has no lift, so you do have to carry your bags. It's also home to a delightful pup named Figgy and a gorgeous cat named Starry, so if you have animal allergies, this is not the place for you. But we LOVED it here and would absolutely stay again.

Used the property as a weekend stay for the rugby.An old listed building, property (quirky)owned by a fantastic host, David.A comfortable room, en suite and an excellent freshly cooked breakfast.The location was good, bus stop to Edinburgh 100 yards, a short walk to Colinton village where there was 2 pubs and 2 italian restuarants..i opted for Dantes, highly recommended plus a Coop.Simply, the property met my needs and more...completely different... not a 5* hotel but a welcoming " home from home".It made a change , just perfect.Thank you, David.

This is a lovely B&B with great transport links into the centre. David is an absolutely wonderful host. So accommodating and friendly, he really made the stay so lovely. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quintessential Scottish experience. The house is a lovely period property, and the bed is sooo comfy!! I had such a great sleep. David made the breakfast to order and it tasted wonderful. He took my dietary requirements on board. I would definitely stay here again.

Feels like a place I would want to live in.
It’s was definitely a warm homely feeling. Very comfortable and inviting. The gentleman who owns the place was friendly and polite… and also not too chatty, which is perfect. One doesn’t want one’s ear talked off. It was the perfect stay. I felt like I could live in the room forever. Beautiful old world charm that you will never find in a Hilton, etc. will stay again!!!
