A friend and I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Edinburgh. We had a fantastic room with an ensuite. The shower was one of the best I have ever had and the bed was very comfortable! The house was spotless as well. We were lucky enough to see quite a bit of the sun, which poured in the bedroom... More

I was so impressed with this BnB and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a bargain BnB in Edinburgh that still offers you a quality stay. Blinkbonny house exceeded my expectations. The double en-suite room was very spacious and beautifully kept. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and the bathroom immaculate with a lovely shower- very good water pressure. Upon... More

My wife was very ill, in Edinburgh Western General hospital, for nine days early December 2011. I stayed at the Blinkbonny House B&B, during this time. I had two rooms during my stay, both were clean, large and warm. Shaun the owner was excellent, in his kindness, he went well above and beyond the call of duty. Offering meals at... More

We've just returned from a 4-night stay at Blinkbonny House, on our first trip to Scotland. The house is beautifully presented, clean, comforting and homely, with attention to detail by the lovely hosts. Shaun was there to greet us on arrival and quickly gave us maps and bus routes to help us settle in straight away. Both he and his... More

Having stayed in various b&bs over the years I thought I knew what to expect-lacklustre service,dated decor,grimey bathroom,a breakfast fit for either a dog or a very hungover man,grey bed linen and a grotty little room(single!). However, take all that and turn it on its head at Blinkbonny House. The host, Sean-couldnt have been more accommadating-look at their web landing... More

The website is beautifully done, but the reality did not live up to it. The Twin/Double with private shower room SHARES the bath, it's not private. We had an early arrival and was originally told we could come early, collect our keys and drop our luggage, then return later when the room was ready. We arrived as planned and no... More

We just stayed here and I must say it is a lovely place. However the location from town is a little far approx 15 minute walk to centre outskirts. We had a car so we ended up driving close to city centre and walking rest of the way. Shaun is a lovely man maybe a little too full on for... More
