My partner and I stayed at Garlands for 4 days. Bill, the owner, was extremely pleasant and helpful, the room was clean, comfortable and spacious, as was the en-suite bathroom. The place has charm, with appropriately ornate decor (to suit the building) and classical music at breakfast. The breakfast, which was included, was good and a number of options were... more

I want to give credit where due. I had no complaint with my accommodation. Bathroom was keep exceptionally clean. The B&B in general was clean and quite. However, I had to take a double room because no single was available. Found myself having breakfast alone for most of my stay (FUNNY THAT). Breakfast was very good. I found the location... more

We just got back from our trip to Edinburgh, Scotland where we stayed at Garlands guest house. The owner had given us directions how to walk from Waverley Bridge and in about 15 minutes we arrived at the beautifull Georgian house. The host Bill McGill was as nice as he had sounded on the telephone (with an accent that left... more

Staying at Garlands has been a highlight of my trips to Ediniburgh. From the welcoming staff, to the superb breakfasts and impeccable rooms each stay has been a pleasure. Garlands has a wonderful atmosphere and combined with the excellent location and outstanding service I cannot recommend it highly enough. Looking forward to my next trip - a home from home. more

This is a lovely welcoming guest house; its a spacious early Victorian building and all rooms well appointed and very clean. Breakfast is the best ive had in Scotland or England. This is a gay friendly house (though not in any way sleazy) and is close to venues in Broughton. The owner was obliging with my left luggage and gave... more

This very beautiful Guest House is a gem in Edinburgh. I am a regular guest at Garlands. I visit usually once a year, but sometimes it's more than that. Bill and Ian are a truly lovely couple and their hospitality is second to none. Over the years I think I've stayed in all the rooms and every room has been... more

We stayed at The Garlands and found everything wonderful! The decor was lovely and talk about a helpful staff - everyone went out of their way to make our stay terrific. Bill was a delightful host. He should teach a course in hotel hospitality!! The Garlands was immaculate, the beds comfortable and the breakfast sublime! We highly recommend this B... more

I have travelled all over the world and I have never had such a bad expreience at this B & B by the Proprietor and host: Bill McGill. He was not friendly at all on check-in. The following morning he never had the courtesy to knock at the door as he wanted to service the room. I was sleeping at... more
