Staying at Botantics B & B was more like staying with a friend than as a paying guest - you are free to use the whole house which is beautifully decorated. That, together with the self-service breakfast, makes for a particularly relaxing experience. The location is great - quiet but really easy to get into town and Eleanor can point... more

Botanics was the find of our trip; such a prettily decorated apartment; everything just as we would have dreamed of in a lovely quiet yet centrally convenient part of the city. Eleanor was a perfect hostess. We will be returning! We have already passed on the good news to friends who plan to visit Edinburgh very soon. more

Having been a visitor to this delightfully friendly, beautiful country before, my most recent experience at Botanics B & B will, no... more

It's a nice and beautiful place, very quiet and peaceful which is near the nature. The host is great and has been very helpful. more

First of all, Eleanor : To us, she was more a friend than a host. She didn't disappeare behind a door after introducing the rooms, but she shares her lovely house with you. She dedicates time to give generous advice to tourists of Edinborrow and Scotland. The kitchen is open to guests and a dream for everyone who loves cooking!... more

What a super B&B! An excellent location virtually opposite the Botanic gardens, easy for either walking to the centre or for catching a convenient bus. A very warm welcome from Eleanor made for a relaxing start to our short break. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. The continental breakfast was generous, the bedroom cosy and the bed very... more
