Wonderful traditionally decorated inn! Situated in a beautiful residential area but only 1.5 miles to the Royal Mile. Great for families or single person stays. James was a wonderful host and made you feel part of his home... what a great welcome to Scotland!

I would say that the 3 stars given by VisitScotland are a bit too tight; actually, I couldn't notice any difference with another B&B rated 4 stars. What is really great in this place is the availability of the owners, also just for chatting. Very nice room, good food, free WiFi; quiet enough, yet in a very good position to... More

While I didn't get to stay the night, Jim was very gracious about the booking error. Jim had found us a comparable accommodation in the area for the same rate. He even gave me back the 20 pound "deposit" paid at the tourism centre when I'd booked without my having to ask. On this alone I'd give the place a... More

Warm welcome. Great local info with time taken to answer your queries. Jim seemed interested in his guests and it felt like he cared if you had a good time. Some of info could be in room folders to save time but the chat let you settle in and feel welcome. Room smart and comfortable with all mod cons and... More

Had a big room with own bathroom. Everything was nice and clean. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The location is good (on a quiet street, but within a walking distance to the center of the city, and many good restaurants nearby). Overall, a great value for the money.
