My wife and I together with 2 other couples stayed 3 (and 5) nights end of october 09. We had a wonderful time. Wonderful rooms, friendly staff and in close proximity to the IECC (5-10 min walk). The house was made ready for Halloween - cool! Deliscous breakfast served every day. They also have nice bars and very good restaurants... more

All the positive points mentioned by the other reviewers are true: lovely place, lovely people, short walk into the centre of town, I found nothing that could be improved upon. Continental breakfast was delicious and very plentyful. It is a price bracket up from what I usually choose, but that was definitely worth every penny! more

Ruth and her husband offer an elegant and mosthospitable stay. The rooms are large, comfortable and exceptionally well appointed. From elegant surroundings to excellent breakfasts well prepared and exceptional presentation. Every detail is considered and addressed; linen napkins, soft music, fresh flowers on each table. Although onsite parking is unavailable Ruth guided us to a safe street site and then... more

The room was very quiet, spacious, with a large four-poster bed in the middle, a fridge and digital tv, the... more

We read spectacular reviews about this B&B, so our expectations was the highest possibile coming in Edinburgh for the last 5 nights of out scotland tour, we checked in on Aug 16th and checked out on Aug 21st. I was aware that high expectations lead often to disappointments, but I wasn't disappointed at all. The room was spacious. It was... more

This was our first stay on our trip to Scotland. The location was great, so near the city yet at the edge for a feeling of spaciousness. So much to take in, nice place to relax. Our one disappointment was there was no common room for us to play cards or visit for the end of the evening and we... more

Stayed there for 3 nights in July while in Edinburgh visiting friends. My room was clean, spacious and had lovely decor (the whole house was beautifully done). Location wise was perfect as you are close to bus stops for West End of Princes Street and the Old town. You could also walk through the meadows if the weather allows which... more
