David our host was very warm, welcoming and hospitable. A lovely property in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood with lots of walks around. Easily accessible by bus from the city. A cooked / continental breakfast is an added bonus. The local village has an amazing pub (Spylaw) with very good food and friendly service and a good family run Italian restaurant ( Dante’s). My husband and I stayed in a very spacious en-suite double bedroom which was very comfortable. We would highly recommend this property.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and had a lovely stay again. David is very welcoming and cooks a lovely breakfast. Nothing is to much if you need advice about the area etc.... would recommend for sure.

A very lovely property with incredible rooms in a nice, quiet location that isn't far at all from bus stops. Thank you David for helping me figure out how to get to the airport!

david è una persona d'altri tempi, la passione con cui prepara la colazione (nel piatto era tutto creato come se fosse un volto di una persona che sorride) o racconta le chicche della "sua" Edinburgo valgono il viaggio. Il resto lo fa il bus 44 che vi porta e vi riporta in centro con estema comodità. Ideale per le coppie e per chi non ama le cose "fancy" ma vivere le esperienze a "casa" di un local. Zona sicurissima e fermata del bus molto vicina al B&B.

David was a wonderful host, the room was large and comfortable, the breakast was tasty and filling. The beautiful, old house is about 4miles outside the city centre, but there is a bus stop a minutes walk from the property, which takes you right into Princes street. An uber was about £15. It was absolutely perfect for our needs.

Its a very old building with lots of character which I like a lot - perhaps not suitable for some who wants a "modern" hotel. The host is wonderful & the breakfast was fantastic!

It was really good if out host to prepare it early for us, since we had to be up and off sharp. We also enjoyed meeting the in-house dog and cat ❤️

Jon and Mary • Couple Trip

The bed was so comfortable after a long journey! The shower was hot and the neighborhood very quiet. We never knew other guests were here until our breakfast and David was very accommodating and gracious and we enjoyed dining with the other travellers. Breakfast was delicious and Figgy the spaniel made us feel very welcome as well!
